Mau tempo: Municípios do Alto Alentejo contabilizam prejuízos de 16M€ "para já"
Portugal's Alto Alentejo region has suffered approximately €16 million in damages due to recent severe weather, primarily affecting municipal and some private infrastructure. The figure, provided by the CIMAA, covers damages in municipalities like Portalegre, Gavião, Nisa, and Ponte de Sor, with potential for higher losses as agricultural damages are still being assessed. Local authorities are calling for urgent government support through the Portugal Transformação, Recuperação e Resiliência (PTRR) program to aid in recovery and infrastructure repair. The region's response includes prioritizing strategic projects to be integrated into regional recovery plans. Overall, the recent storms caused significant destruction, with Portugal experiencing 18 fatalities and numerous injuries and displacements.
