subsistência o primeiro ministro Lu
negro prometeu um urgente levantamento
dos prejuízos e punição aos responsáveis
pelos incêndios criminais nas florestas
em suas palavras abre aspas não podemos
perdoar a quem não tem perdão não
podemos perdoar atitudes criminosas que
estão na base de muitas ignições nos
últimos dias sabemos que há fenômenos
naturais e situações de negligência mas

Bombeiros empenhados a combater o fogo

União Europeia quatro países já cederam
aviões pro combate aos incêndios Espanha
França Itália e Grécia aqui eu quero
trazer dois pontos importantes tá é

acontecendo os focos de incêndio nesse
exato momento no site
fogos.pt você encontra os pontos de
incêndio sabe Quando iniciou quantas
pessoas e equipamentos estão mobilizados
inclusive se ele já foi encerrado dá
inclusive para ver o risco de incêndio
nos próximos dias Fique atento se você
pegará rodovias na região se você mora
perto de áreas preocupantes tá também é
o site
aqw.com se escreve assim olha iq a i
r.com nesse você consegue ver a
qualidade do ar e a poluição atmosférica
ontem por exemplo esteve como insalubre
em diversos locais do centro e norte de
Portugal hoje aparece como não saudável
para grupos sensíveis ele coloca algumas
recomendações do que fazer como reduzir
o exercício ao ar livre fechar as
janelas para evitar que o ar externo
sujo em entre para casa usar o
purificador de ar e recomenda também que
grupos sensíveis usem máscara ao ar
livre hoje nós acordamos com um céu
diferente o ar estava pesado a previsão
na minha região era de sol mas as nuvens
carregadas um tom cinza laranja não
permitiram que víssemos o céu direito a
Garganta arranhando não daria para ser
diferente o ar está realmente poluído a
concentração de partículas em suspensão
como mostra o site tem sido associadas
aí a doenças e mortes causadas por
doenças cardíacas ou pulmonares Então se
puder permaneça em ambientes fechados
evite ao máximo estar exposto ao ar
externo nesse momento aí de alta
concentração de poluentes a outra coisa
é se você reside próximo a um corpo de
bombeiros de áreas afetadas verifique se
você pode ajudar com donativos como
bolachas água em garrafas pequenas
frutas Você pode verificar quais artigos
específicos a Corporação mais perto de
você precisa e contactá-lo diretamente
se segundo a liga Portuguesa dos
Bombeiros mas muito importante hein faça
isso apenas se você não se colocar em
risco Ok como traz um jornal público que
ouvi os representantes da liga não faça
deslocamentos desnecessários proteja-se
resguarde bens e elimine todos os
possíveis elementos que possam ser
combustíveis quanto menos comportamentos
de risco houver menos os bombeiros terão
de intervir em situações evitáveis
combinado Deixo aqui a minha
solidaridade meu entos a todos os
familiares dos mortos nos incêndios a
todos que enfrentam essa situação
difícil de perder seus entes queridos
perder casas animaizinhos
