Martinho depression has already caused 5,800 occurrences. Until Saturday, rain and strong winds are expected. Civil Protection reinforces the appeal to avoid unnecessary risks.
Civil Protection leaves the appeal to the population to follow the authorities’ recommendations due to the impact of the Martinho depression, which affected several regions of the country tonight.
To drivers, civil protection warns of the need for extra attention on roads. The warning is for everyone to adopt a defensive and prudent condition at the wheel and, above all, to avoid unnecessary travel.
The Assistant Civil Protection Commander, Alexandre Penha, stressed the need to clean the drainage systems, which were severely affected by the rains, to ensure the proper flow of the waters.
In addition, civil protection warns of the need to fix loose objects that can be transported by strong wind, increasing the risk of damage and accidents.
