I noticed Google Maps actively displaying real-time crisis alerts provided by the Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere (IPMA). It’s a great example of how features on Maps help keep local communities informed and safe during severe weather events.

All schools and non-essential public services across mainland Portugal will be closed on Wednesday, November 11.

Authorities have issued warnings for persistent heavy rainfall and wind gusts potentially reaching 140 km/h.

Hi @Roman_Ahmmed, thanks for sharing this — those screenshots show how useful the IPMA alerts on Maps really are when the weather turns bad. 140 km/h gusts and schools closed for the whole day, that’s serious. Stay safe in Lisbon, hope everyone gets through it fine. A good reminder for the rest of us to check Maps before heading out too.
