In April, a 75 million euro advance payment is planned to support incurred expenses for municipalities, supplementing the existing duodécimo mechanism.

Around 10% of the 30,000 housing-recovery aid applications have been decided (about 3,200), with €4 million paid so far and €250 million available through the Centro and Lisbon e Vale do Tejo CCDRs.

To cover incurred or ongoing expenses, municipalities will receive an additional 75 million euros, with the amount to be reconciled later against insurance settlements and potential state support, and they will also get a duodécimo advance earlier in the year to cover large costs.

During meetings with business associations, intermunicipal communities, and municipalities, authorities agreed to accelerate aid processing and improve fraud verification and coordination between municipalities and CCDRs.

Two months after storm Kristin, only about 10% of housing-recovery aid applications have been approved, with 30,000 applications, 3,200 decisions, and €4 million disbursed.

The government aims to complete financial aid processes for homes damaged by storm Kristin by the end of June, acknowledging delays in the current timeline.

There has been no update on losses suffered by individuals, companies, municipalities, or other entities from the multiple storms affecting the Centro region, including Leiria.

€1,393 million in aid is already available for roughly 6,000 affected companies, indicating the business side is more advanced in delivering relief.

€250 million is available in the Centro and Lisbon and Vale do Tejo regional development commissions to fund housing recovery, with prioritization to speed up processing.

authorities have mobilized more than 750 technical staff to assist with damage assessments, supplementing resources from Lisbon and Porto municipalities.

An online platform is coming that will let citizens track aid allocated to their municipality, with real-time information on disbursements for individuals, businesses, and agriculture to boost transparency.

Economy and Territorial Cohesion Minister Manuel Castro Almeida announced a plan to accelerate approvals and aim to conclude the process by June 30.
