The images and stories we have seen and heard are both heart-wrenching and a stark reminder of the unpredictable forces of nature. In this time of profound hardship, we want you to know that you are not alone.
We recognize the strength and resilience you have shown, standing together to support one another. We are inspired by the tireless efforts of the first responders, volunteers, and neighbors who have come together to ensure the safety and well-being of those affected. The courage you have displayed in these difficult days fills us with hope that recovery is not only possible but already underway.
Please be assured that our thoughts, resources, and prayers are with you. EURIPA is here to support in any way we can, offering whatever aid we can provide to help restore and rebuild what has been lost.

As you face the days ahead, may you find solace in the knowledge that the world stands with you. Together, we will overcome this tragedy and ensure a brighter future for all those impacted.
We are confident that the city of Valencia will not betray its ancient latin name of Valentia Edetanorum (The strength of the Edentans) and will be able to recover from this catastrophe.
