Activado plano de emergência para a bacia do Tejo devido à subida de caudais

The Santarém District Civil Protection Commission activated the Special Emergency Plan for Floods in the Tagus Basin at blue level due to rising water levels, which have already caused partial flooding in Constância and Almourol. The decision took effect at 08:10 following rainfall in Portugal and Spain that increased the hydrometric levels of the Tagus and its tributaries. The flow at Almourol reached approximately 1400 m³/s, exceeding the reference value of 1200 m³/s. While there is no immediate cause for alarm, authorities warn of potential urban flooding and recommend removing valuables from flood-prone areas. Monitoring will continue in coordination with relevant agencies.
