DANA Employment Plan
The objective of the DANA Employment Plan, included in the Royal Decree of December 19, 2024, is to give a job opportunity to working people who, due to the incidence of the dana, are unable to carry out their work and who the contracted people can help with their work to rebuild the affected areas.
This measure is articulated through the direct granting of subsidies to the seventy-eight municipalities that have suffered the damage caused by the dana. In addition, the persons employed under the scheme must be unemployed workers, who are registered as claimants in the public employment services.
