Storms in Almada: Study warns that many affected residents will not be able to return home

A technical study by NOVA University researchers warns that residents displaced by storms in Costa da Caparica and Porto Brandão cannot safely return due to high-risk slope and mass movements. The experts recommend keeping certain zones in Azinhaga dos Formozinhos and the Costa da Caparica Fossil Cliff permanently restricted or vacated, with demolitions required along parts of the cliff. Almada's mayor, Inês de Medeiros, stated that residents will not be allowed to return for safety reasons.
