Municipal and operational teams are on the ground monitoring the municipality, where the situation remains stable with typical seasonal occurrences. Despite the stability, vigilance and adoption of precautionary and preventive behaviors disseminated by competent authorities are urged.
The Municipality will continue to monitor the situation in real-time and issue new updates.

The National Authority for Emergency and Civil Protection recommends cleaning drainage systems, reinforcing doors and windows, securing objects on balconies and terraces, and ensuring exterior structures are safe. It is advised to have charged flashlights and communication equipment, avoid river areas and flood-prone zones, and exercise caution in wooded areas.
Defensive driving is also recommended, with attention to water accumulation, avoiding parking in flooded or wooded areas, and refraining from unnecessary travel. Animals, equipment, and belongings should be removed from flood-prone areas. Due to bad weather, the Palmela Ecopark may experience collection alterations.
Everyone's safety is the priority, and protection and attention to official information and recommendations from authorities are called for.
