The island council has suspended activities and closed several facilities following emergency coordination instructions, with nurseries, libraries and other public services affected.

The Ibiza Island Council (Consell Insular d’Eivissa) has announced disruptions to public services and island council facilities as a result of Storm Adam, following instructions agreed at the latest meeting of the Integrated Operational Coordination Centre (CECOPI) last night. The meeting was coordinated by the Balearic Islands government’s Directorate-General for Emergencies.

The measures follow recommendations for non-essential public sector employees to remain at home and avoid unnecessary travel, and affect the operation of several council services.
