Civil Protection Sintra

A big thanks to Dona Fátima for helping me make a rescue of an abandoned cat in a house! May this lady who did everything! Thank you

Waiting for a disgrace? Queluz, 29 November 2018 Bearing in mind the attitude taken by the Presidents of the National Civil Protection Authority and the Municipal Civil Protection Service of Sintra, by ignoring my various e-mails, documented with photos, regarding an inadequate requalification that is supposedly taking place in Rio Dating in Queluz. I clarify: It seems to me that at the end of all these years, there are still those who do not know what the Rio Jamor is, and unfortunately, the various cases of floods caused by the floods formed in it? As well, how many lives were regrettably lost there because of that? I confess that I feel powerless for years and years, who has come to question who rightfully, about the state of the bed of the River Jamor in all its extension, without having obtained a truly conclusive answer? Therefore, I insist that it is urgent, once and for all, that major measures be taken in the entire flow of the Jamor River, and not only in a part of the 16 km of its extension, as it is currently happening by the promoter of the Sintra municipality. , as if to cover the eyes of the inhabitants with it. For those who do not know, the length of the River Jamor as I mentioned is 16 km, it is born in Serra da Carregueira, the main tributary of the left bank is the Carenque stream, and the River Jamor flows into the River Tagus. # The recurring need for restorations in the entire structure of the canal and in its decorative elements, caused by floods in the Jamor River, is reported in several documents, with references since the completion of the canal in 1756. (quote from the 2011 Census of the University of Lisbon) As I have already mentioned, a supposed façade requalification has been going on for weeks, on the River Jamor, which is the responsibility of the municipality of Sintra, but only in the Queluz Market area. Where curiously, a slope made of wood trunks has been placed, which was later attached with stones, on one of the banks. In fact, it was one of several photos I sent to Vexas. It is degrading to see the state of the bed of the Jamor River, full of the most varied type of vegetation, including a large amount of reeds, and rubble. On the bank, where the cement slope does not exist, several heaps of garbage are visible along the same side, as if ready to fall to the riverbed, as soon as a more intense rain appears, thus causing the usual constraints. in the current of the waters. The flow of the Jamor River is not only a cause of the rains, along the course of the riverbed, are visible several tubes of different dimensions used to make them, several discharges of? In the photos I send today, I tried to focus on the type of the flow of the Rio Jamor flow, which causes the fickle currents, and also, of course, a proof of the total absence of any type of requalification. In order for Vexas to understand my uncompromising, and insistent decision to report this case, I have lived in the city of Queluz for more than forty years, unfortunately I know the strength of the Rio Jamor, I witnessed several floods in the Rio Jamor, I watched the collapse of a building of several floors next to the Arches in the 2008 floods, as well as the fall of the wall in Belas on Estrada Nacional 117 in the same year, which would be years to be repaired (perhaps because it was the responsibility of Estradas de Portugal). A wall that, when falling due to the flood, allowed the car to be dragged to the Jamor River in which two sisters who died, one of whom would eventually have never been found, were found. I remember that shortly after coming to live in Queluz, from the great floods in 1967, which according to reports from that time in the municipality of Sintra, Queluz would have been considered a martyr place by the floods in the Jamor River, and that still today it is not known for sure, how many people would have died. In the event that some unhappiness happens due to insecurity in the bed of the Jamor River, this time, I will have no doubts of who consciously, will have to assume all the responsibilities due therefrom.

On April 2, 2019, civil protection was contacted about a kitten trapped in a tree in a land full of trees, brambles, leaves and dry roots. On the day of the event the firefighters came but did nothing, not even an analysis of the situation. Civil protection said that someone had come to the field, but nothing is said. The next day several calls were made, which were forwarded to the civil protection veterinarian, who only answered after 3 calls. During the day calls were made continuously, but there was always a situation that was always more important than this. It is understandable that a kitten trapped in a tree is not as important as an accident with several animals trying to be rescued. But two days trying to get someone to come and analyze the situation seems to me too much. Knowing that the cat is trapped due to the negligence of the owner of the farm, who has not cleaned the farm for at least 5 years. The lack of action and inertia on the part of these elements leaves much to be desired, in addition to the fact that they are unprofessional and rarely answer calls.
