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".
