Authorities warn that mud behaves "like cement", creating extremely dangerous conditions for rescue teams in the field. This characteristic of mud represents a significant risk for rescuers trying to help disaster victims.
Commander António Rodrigues, a Civil Protection specialist, is the voice explaining the difficulties faced by rescue teams. According to the specialist, conditions in the field are very difficult for rescue teams.
The situation highlights the dangerous paradox that can occur in rescue operations, where the rescuers themselves risk becoming victims due to the unpredictable and dangerous nature of the environment in which they work. The phenomenon of mud behaving like cement transforms rescue work into an extremely high-risk operation.
