Due to the red alert, the CCDR LVT service points will be closed on that day. The Government has declared a state of alert nationwide, which means schools of all educational levels and non-essential public services will be closed on Wednesday.
The IPMA forecasts very strong winds, with gusts that could exceed 130 km/h, heavy rain, and sea agitation with waves up to 5 meters on the coast.
The National Authority for Emergency and Civil Protection recommends that the public only leave home if absolutely necessary, especially during peaks of rain and wind. If driving is necessary, do so with maximum caution, paying attention to water on the roads. It is also advised not to park in flood-prone areas, underground car parks, or under trees, and to stay away from rivers, streams, beaches, cliffs, and flood-prone areas, and not to cross flooded roads.
Additionally, it is advised to secure or remove loose objects from balconies, terraces, and exteriors, clean gutters, drains, and run-offs, and to have flashlights and charged batteries readily available.
