The Telde City Council has adopted preventive measures against storm Charles, activating the Municipal Emergency Plan and suspending activities and public events, including the San Gregorio Taumaturgo festivities.

Given the forecast of strong wind gusts and other adverse phenomena associated with storm Charles, the Telde City Council has reinforced protection measures and maintains the Municipal Emergency Plan (PEMU) activated at Alert Phase – Level 0 (Municipal).
Key actions include the temporary closure of parks, gardens, squares, playgrounds, sports facilities, social centers, the Psychosocial Center, and the Senior Center, as well as other public access municipal spaces. On-site activities in these facilities are suspended, while essential citizen services continue.
The resolution also includes the suspension of all public events organized by the City Council, affecting the program for the San Gregorio Taumaturgo 2026 Festivities and other cultural, festive, sports, and leisure activities while the risk situation persists.
A call is made to owners of commercial and hospitality establishments to secure or remove elements from their terraces, such as umbrellas and furniture, to prevent damage from wind.
The City Council advises citizens to avoid unnecessary travel, exercise extreme caution, refrain from walking in parks and wooded areas, and stay away from elements that could detach. It also reminds the public to secure objects on balconies and rooftops and to follow the instructions of the Local Police and emergency services.
These preventive and temporary measures will remain in effect until meteorological conditions and technical assessments allow for the restoration of safety. The City Council thanks the public, establishments, and entities for their cooperation, prioritizing the protection of people.
