The movement in Valencia has organized collection efforts in coordination with the city council to gather supplies and ensure they reach the affected areas.
While the help is crucial, there is a need for donations to be coordinated based on products and necessities, varying depending on the day, week, and month as the recovery effort will be ongoing. The distribution and logistics of aid are essential, and community efforts are ensuring that resources are reaching the right places. Organizations like Cruz Roja have deployed volunteers and set up distribution points to provide assistance to those affected by the disaster.
The outpouring of support has been massive, with organizations like Cáritas and the Banco de Alimentos also receiving generous donations of supplies and financial contributions. The response from the community has been overwhelming, with an impressive amount of food and essentials donated to help those in need. The efforts of the Ejército de Tierra and the Unidad Militar de Emergencias have also been crucial in providing relief to the affected areas.

The focus is on ensuring that resources are reaching those who need them most, and plans are being made for the long-term recovery process. The solidarity and collaboration seen in the wake of the disaster are highlighting the resilience and unity of the community in the face of adversity.
