| Sumario: | [EN] This study presents the case of the Port de Catarroja mural, a contemporary artwork located at the headquarters of the Fishermen's Community of Catarroja, in the heart of the Albufera Natural Park, whose conservation was affected by the DANA (Mediterranean storm) that struck Valencia on October 29, 2024. The initially planned intervention -a preventive conservation proposal agreed upon with the artist- was interrupted due to the devastation caused by the climate-related disaster, which intensified pre-existing damage and left the natural environment in a state of high vulnerability. The impossibility of carrying out the intervention was the result of both the environmental restrictions of the protected natural area in which the mural is located and the economic and administrative limitations faced by the municipality in the aftermath of the emergency. This case highlights the urgent need to address the lack of protocols for responding to natural disasters in the field of public and urban murals, suggesting the development of adaptable response frameworks for sensitive and changing contexts. |
