The island of Porto Santo is also today focusing on the Procivex 24 exercise, where the big wave is expected to arrive.
The short preparation time for the teams could prove to be an added problem, since it is an island that is mostly flat in its central part and the tsunami will easily hit infrastructures of great importance to the population, such as the Health Center and a large commercial area selling food products and basic necessities.
For this exercise, the island’s relief and security resources will act in different scenarios, namely search and rescue with rescue teams in cliff and river areas and by sea.
