The entire country will enter a state of contingency from 15 September. It is the level in force in the Lisbon and Vale do Tejo Region.

Thus, Portugal regresses from a state of alert, which is the least serious, to a state of contingency, which is intermediate. The most serious is the calamity, which was applied in 19 parishes in the Metropolitan Area of ​​Lisbon.
