The municipal plan, published on 18 October, prioritizes sites posing risks to homes or affecting access, essential services and the road network. It also identifies two structural measures: increasing the hydraulic capacity of the BP-5002 bridge over the Mogent and reducing flood risk along the Ardenya stream.

The town said a coordination meeting took place on 9 October with Civil Protection, the Cartographic and Geological Institute of Catalonia, the Catalan Water Agency, the Generalitat’s infrastructure services and firefighters. Work locations will be updated weekly according to technical priorities, and some works may cause temporary traffic disruption.
