DANA 2024 Commemorative Medal

The Commemorative Medal for Participation in the DANA Valencia 2024 is a formal tribute to the courage, service and professionalism shown by military and civilian personnel involved in the emergency operation carried out following the severe weather event of 29 October 2024. Created by the Ministry of Defence, this medal has a clearly official and commemorative nature, intended to preserve the memory of a crucial intervention aimed at protecting lives, property and critical infrastructure.

Its exclusive design features interlinked hands as a symbol of cooperation and solidarity, accompanied by a yellow and black ribbon that represents, respectively, the bravery demonstrated during the emergency and the mourning for the human and material losses caused by the storm. Manufactured in metal with a refined finish and a 0.5 micron gold plating, the medal has a diameter of 32 millimetres and includes an official metal clasp to ensure secure attachment and proper display.

Beyond its aesthetic value, this medal stands as a tangible recognition of service rendered under demanding and high-risk conditions, making it a meaningful keepsake for those who participated directly in the operation as well as a valuable addition for collectors of official and commemorative distinctions related to defence, security and emergency management.
