The Porto Santo Municipal Civil Protection Service launched an appeal on social media this Sunday to the population to stay away from palm trees, which are being cut down, as well as other trees, and closed some public spaces, including the City Pier.
This alert is due to the adverse weather conditions forecast for this Monday, on the island, which is under a red warning for rough seas (between 6 am and 3 pm) and will be under an orange warning (between 3 am and 3 pm) for wind.
The municipality warns “that the local population should take special care when walking and staying near wooded areas, particularly near palm trees without canopies or with a flattened appearance due to the fall of yellowed and dry central leaves, and be aware of the possibility of these leaves, branches or trees and other debris falling onto the roadways”.
Some municipal public spaces with greater pedestrian traffic will also be closed, namely the City Pier, the Children’s Park and the Public Bathrooms.
Civil Protection warns and recommends that the entire population adopt protective measures and behaviors for the risks that may arise from these forecasts.
As previously reported, the local authority and the IFCN will begin, “within the next few days, the felling of more than a hundred palm trees, thus preventing the spread of the beetle plague and the danger that some of these trees already pose to the population.”
