The Safe Neighborhood Project, promoted by Gebalis and the Municipal Civil Protection Service, held an awareness event and a fire drill in the Bairro das Murtas, Lisbon.

The initiative, which involved around 20 participants, mostly children, aimed to alert the community about risk prevention, precautions in homes and common areas, and emergency procedures.
The active participation of residents in the drill helped reinforce the importance of knowing how to act in a dangerous situation. Keeping common areas and evacuation routes clear of obstacles is also essential to facilitate safe exit and ensure access for emergency services.
By involving the community, the Safe Neighborhood Project helps promote preventive behaviors and strengthen shared responsibility in building safer neighborhoods.
