National commander, André Fernandes, warned of the
possibility, in the face of high levels of rainfall, not only "of flooding
in the rivers, but also floods in urban areas".
"Here is a special warning for the urban areas of the
northern region, the central region, and Lisbon and Setúbal", he
specified.
ANEC asks the population to adopt "self-protection
measures in view of the intense forecast [of precipitation] and above all also
due to the saturation that the soils have in view of the situation last week
".
Therefore, explained Commander André Fernandes, "people
should adopt self-protection measures and adjust their driving in the face of
the expected adverse weather situation and also monitor areas most susceptible
to landslides".
