The nighttime intervention works on the IP3 road, which connects Viseu to Coimbra, were cancelled in the section near Tondela due to bad weather. Infraestruturas de Portugal (IP) went to the site to assess the conditions and concluded that there were no safety conditions for carrying out the works, leading to the immediate suspension of the interventions.
Infraestruturas de Portugal announced that traffic on the Spanish road at the Monfortinho border, in Idanha-a-Nova, is prohibited for heavy vehicles for 15 days, between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
Sérgio Santos, commander of firefighters in Saudi Arabia with experience in rescue operations, warned of a very high risk of infection in areas affected by the flood in Nepal and Tibet. According to the specialist, the lack of adequate protection equipment among teams participating in the removal of victims significantly increases the health danger in flooded areas.
An avalanche of ice and rock on the border between Nepal and Tibet is believed to have caused a massive flood that has already killed hundreds of people in Nepal, leaving a trail of mud and destruction wherever the water passed, devastating several regions of the country.
The municipality of Soure awarded a contract of 575 thousand euros for the cleaning and regularization of the Arunca river, after a storm that affected the region. The intervention aims to clear the river bed and prevent future floods.
