According to the website of the National Emergency and Civil Protection Authority (ANEPC), most incidents were related to fallen trees and collapsed structures caused by wind.
The bad weather has placed 14 districts of mainland Portugal under orange alert, according to the Portuguese Institute of the Sea and the Atmosphere (IPMA), which issued a yellow alert only for Bragança, Santarém, Portalegre, and Évora.
Strong winds and rough seas are expected in coastal districts, which will continue until Wednesday, according to the IPMA, which has already placed the entire coastline under orange alert, the second highest on the scale, on its website.
Most of the remaining incidents were related to flooding, road clearing, or landslides, according to ANEPC.
The most affected areas are the Central region (59 incidents) and the Lisbon and Tagus Valley region (39).
The Portuguese government activated the National Civil Protection Emergency Plan (PNEPC) on Sunday due to the forecast of "worsening risk to people and property" in the coming days.
The activation of the National Civil Protection Emergency Plan was unanimously approved at the first extraordinary meeting of 2026 of the National Civil Protection Commission (CNPC), chaired by the Minister of Internal Administration, Maria Lúcia Amaral, according to a CNPC statement.
This decision is related to the "high expected rainfall and its hydrological impacts, namely in terms of floods and inundations (...), effects [that] cumulatively affect a territory already impacted by the consequences of the recent Kristin depression," the statement said.
The passage of the Kristin depression through mainland Portugal on Wednesday caused at least five deaths, according to Civil Protection, several injuries and displaced persons.
The Marinha Grande City Council also reported another fatality in the municipality.
On Saturday, two other men died after falling from the roofs they were repairing, one in the municipality of Batalha and the other in Alcobaça.
Fallen trees and structures, road closures and disruptions to transport services, especially railway lines, school closures, and power, water, and communication outages are the main material consequences of the storm.
In Leiria, where the depression made landfall, Coimbra and Santarém sustained the most damage.
The Government declared a state of emergency, which was extended on Sunday until 8 February, in an extraordinary meeting of the Council of Ministers.
