[Civil Protection authorities](https://interior.gencat.cat/ca/arees%5Fdactuacio/proteccio%5Fcivil/?ref=barna.news) in Catalonia have issued a maximum alert status following [forecasts of extreme wind gusts](https://meteo.cat/?ref=barna.news). This **Catalonia wind warning** affects significant portions of the territory. Consequently, the emergency service escalated its response on Saturday morning to warn residents of potentially dangerous conditions, following the disruptions caused by [Storm Nils](https://barna.news/rodalies-speed-limit-barcelona-storm-nils/) earlier this week.

## Emergency Mobile Alerts Sent

At 10:23 am on Saturday, Civil Protection activated the [Es-Alerta system](https://interior.gencat.cat/ca/arees%5Fdactuacio/proteccio%5Fcivil/en-cas-demergencia/es-alert/?ref=barna.news). This action transmitted an emergency notification directly to mobile phones in the impact zones. Meanwhile, this system is reserved for situations presenting a significant risk to public safety. Therefore, it ensures that the population receives immediate instructions during severe weather events.

## Affected Areas

The **Catalonia wind warning** covers ten *comarques* (counties) distributed across three provinces:

- [Barcelona](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Barcelona,+Spain/?ref=barna.news)
- [Girona](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Girona,+Spain/?ref=barna.news)
- [Lleida](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Lleida,+Spain/?ref=barna.news)

Residents in these areas are advised to exercise caution, particularly regarding outdoor activities. In addition, the risk of extreme wind gusts remains high. Some may be wondering about [debate over the government’s drastic wind shutdown](https://barna.news/catalonia-wind-shutdown-justified/) after similar alerts in the past.
