The Mission Structure for the Recovery of Affected Areas reports 34,000 applications — including over 25,000 pre‑registrations — for the €10,000 reconstruction support aimed at homes in the Centre and Lisbon and Tagus Valley, with roughly 9,000 formal submissions handled through the two CCDRs. Authorities also note 66,000 insurance activations (around 8,000 for companies), while the Intermunicipal Council of CIM Leiria met to assess the local calamity response. Transport disruptions persist: the A16 has reopened after a short closure caused by a fallen advertising sign, but Infraestruturas de Portugal reports restricted railway circulation on parts of the national network due to recent bad weather. The IPMA forecasts easing rain and improving conditions through the weekend, which may reduce further transport and recovery impediments. The situation highlights strong demand for reconstruction aid, large insurance mobilisation and ongoing infrastructure vulnerability to extreme weather.
