The improvement in weather conditions is alleviating flooding situations, albeit slowly in the most affected areas, with landslides being a particular concern for authorities, according to the national commander of Civil Protection. The latest update on the hydrometeorological situation in the country, presented by Mário Silvestre, indicates a reduction in flooding due to weather characterized by periods of rain, especially in Minho and Douro Litoral. Authorities continue to monitor river levels in several areas and have activated the Special Emergency Plan for Floods in the Tejo Basin at a red alert level. Silvestre warned of the risks of landslides, which have displaced many residents, and urged people to stay away from risk areas and report any ground fissures or fallen trees. He noted that 123 municipal emergency plans are still active, and efforts are being made to regulate river flows to prevent further issues. The situation may take three weeks to a month to normalise in Montemor-o-Velho, with significant impacts on local tourism and agriculture due to the adverse weather.
