Tourism of Portugal (Turismo de Portugal) has launched an emergency accommodation programme after the storm, making 815 units available across 55 municipalities and registering over 100 establishments so far. Access to the free rooms is granted on a municipal-council declaration and participating businesses can receive up to €60 per night to cover costs. The scheme is aimed at people displaced by the storms and at supporting local recovery; affected residents should contact their municipal council to request assistance.

Context & Explainers
Turismo de Portugal (the national tourism agency) is the state agency responsible for promoting Portugal as a destination and managing tourism support and funding. It administers sector programmes and can provide measures such as repaying bank debt or extending repayment deadlines for businesses, so restaurants and tourism companies should check eligibility for announced support.
