The recent storm we have experienced in Valencia has had a devastating impact on our region, affecting both homes and businesses. However, the solidarity of the public has shown that, even in the most difficult times, we are capable of coming together to overcome adversity. At Green+Decorum, we have compiled a list of solidarity initiatives following the storm that may be of great use to small and medium-sized businesses facing challenges related to the state of their physical spaces and materials, loss of information, interruption of their activity, personal exhaustion, and more.
