The Porto City Council has activated its Municipal Operational Coordination Center (CCOM) and opened its overnight center (Centro Municipal de Pernoita) for daytime use in response to the Charles depression. The center provides 120 places, and the Joaquim Urbano Temporary Shelter offers 30 additional beds. A support zone for the population (ZCAP) has also been prepared at the Pero Vaz de Caminha school group pavilion for potential emergency displacement.
