© (UME / Defensa.Gob.esPersonnel from Spain’s Unidad Militar de Emergencias (UME) helping to clear streets in Madrid following Storm Filomena.
The Spanish government has classified Madrid and seven other regions struck the hardest by Storm Filomena last week as disaster zones, a category that will provide emergency subsidies and other support measures. Castilla-La Mancha, Castilla y León, Asturias, Andalusia, Aragón, La Rioja and Navarra have also been classified as disaster zones.

The precise details of the subsidies and support have not yet been decided, and each region needs to be assessed individually. The authorities in Madrid and in Castilla-La Mancha had been pushing for disaster zone classification.

The news came as the Madrid regional government also warned that rain predicted from Wednesday could bring flooding and further chaos to the capital. 'The rains predicted by AEMET [the state weather agency], although moderate, are likely to cause floods when all the ice begins to melt,' the regional government said.
