The fires that devastated Vouzela and Valpaços were officially classified as a "natural disaster", paving the way for support for affected farmers. The subsidies cover 100% of the first 10,000 euros of eligible expenditure, and agricultural holdings that recorded damages exceeding 30% of productive potential can apply for these government support measures.
