The Environment Ministry (Ministério do Ambiente) described stabilising coastal cliffs as “super urgent” following storm-driven erosion, with the minister speaking in Albufeira about prioritising safety along vulnerable stretches of coast. Authorities said interventions will focus on preventing further collapses that threaten promenades, homes and infrastructure after recent bad weather. Those living or holidaying in coastal municipalities should follow local safety notices, temporary access restrictions and municipal repair plans.
