Flood subsidy 2024-2025: San Javier receives €35,000 more after official correction

Key data

The Municipality of San Javier (Murcia) will have €35,000 additional to repair infrastructure damaged by floods that occurred between September 2024 and March 2025. The Resolution of July 31, 2026 from the State Secretariat for Territorial Policy rectifies a material error in the original resolution of December 29, 2025, which allocated subsidies for the recovery of municipal infrastructure and provincial and island road networks declared as an area seriously affected by a civil protection emergency.

The incorrect data published in December 2025 recorded a lower figure for San Javier. This correction not only adjusts the amount, but also restarts the execution deadline for the affected project from the date of publication in the BOE, which extends the actual time available to execute the works.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution corrects material errors in the allocation of subsidies approved by the Agreement of the Council of Ministers of April 1, 2025, which declared "Area seriously affected by a civil protection emergency" the territories damaged by floods and other phenomena between September 16, 2024 and March 24, 2025.

The specific changes introduced by this correction are as follows:

The purpose of these subsidies is the recovery of damage to municipal infrastructure and provincial and island road networks, financed under the third section of the aforementioned Agreement of the Council of Ministers.

Economic and operational impact

For the Municipality of San Javier, the impact is twofold:

• Economic: it receives €35,000 additional, which represents an increase of 30.9% over the incorrect amount (€113,334.96). This significantly expands the capacity to act in infrastructure repair.
• Operational: the execution deadline for the project restarts from August 8, 2026, which provides more time margin for tendering, contracting and executing the works without risk of deadline non-compliance.

For the Region of Murcia as a whole, the total subsidies allocated goes from €3,146,333.33 to €3,181,333.33, consolidating its position as a territory receiving funds within the national emergency recovery framework.

At the national level, the corrected total maximum amount of €37,951,939.73 represents the spending ceiling of the program for the recovery of infrastructure affected by the 2024-2025 floods.

Who does it affect?

• Municipality of San Javier (Murcia): direct beneficiary of the correction, with an increase of €35,000 in its allocated subsidy and restart of the execution deadline.
• Other local entities benefiting from subsidies for recovery of municipal infrastructure and provincial and island road networks included in the Resolution of December 29, 2025: must verify that their allocated amounts have not changed and that their execution deadlines remain the original ones.
• Municipal managers and works technicians of the Municipality of San Javier: must update the project execution planning taking as reference the new deadline start date (August 8, 2026).
• Advisors and consultants of local entities managing subsidies from the flood recovery program 2024-2025.

Practical example

The Municipality of San Javier had allocated €113,334.96 to repair municipal infrastructure damaged by floods. With the correction published on August 8, 2026, the subsidy amounts to €148,334.96.

If the original execution deadline was, for example, 18 months computed from December 2025 (with approximate expiration in June 2027), now that same deadline is computed from August 8, 2026, moving the expiration to February 2028. This gives the Municipality more than an additional year to execute the works without incurring non-compliance.

In practical terms: if the council had not been able to start the tender due to uncertainty about the actual amount, it now has the definitive figure and a renewed deadline to act with legal certainty.

What should entities do now?

1. Municipality of San Javier: update internal files with the new subsidy amount (€148,334.96) and recalculate the execution deadline taking August 8, 2026 as the start date.
2. Other beneficiaries of the Resolution of 29/12/2025: verify that their allocated amounts have not been modified by this correction and that their original execution deadlines remain in force.
3. Project managers: review ongoing contracts or tenders to ensure that amounts and deadlines reflect the corrected data, not the incorrect ones from the original resolution.
4. Advisors to local entities: communicate to their affected clients the extension of the execution deadline and the correction of the amount, to avoid errors in justifications or unnecessary extension requests.
5. All beneficiaries: keep a copy of the correction resolution (BOE of August 8, 2026, reference BOE-A-2026-17367) as an accrediting document of the definitive amount and deadline.
