Tunnels closed and WebSummit at risk, says Moedas

Lisbon's Mayor Carlos Moedas announced the closure of tunnels, schools, and parks due to adverse weather conditions, impacting events like the WebSummit. He emphasized the importance of safety for participants and mentioned that Christmas market preparations would be paused but not dismantled. Over 300 incidents have been reported, and residents are urged to remain calm and follow civil protection guidelines. Public transport will operate, but bus services will be assessed continuously. Municipal employees can leave early to avoid traffic issues, and support centers will be open for vulnerable individuals. Key tourist sites will also be closed temporarily.
