The Municipality of Gouveia, through its Municipal Civil Protection Service, is joining the national initiative A Terra Treme, promoted by the National Authority for Emergency and Civil Protection (ANEPC). The exercise will take place on November 5th at 11:05 AM, aiming to raise public awareness about seismic risk.
