CTT – Correios de Portugal transported several tons of essential goods and construction materials destined for populations affected by Storm Kristin and other subsequent weather events.

Following these storms, CTT activated an emergency logistics response from the outset to support the affected communities, placing its operational capacity at the service of the population, in coordination with social organizations and local entities. This operation enabled a rapid, effective, and coordinated response in a highly demanding context.

Between February and March, CTT responded to requests for support from various entities, ensuring the transport of essential goods requested by organizations such as Cáritas, ADRA and Seasiren, as well as by the municipalities of Pombal, Ourém and Castro Marim.

As part of this support, CTT transported 27 containers with essential goods, clothing and protective equipment, as well as construction materials, fundamental for the immediate response on the ground. Temporary protection solutions were also provided, with the transport of more than 1,000 square meters of tarpaulins, intended for the temporary covering of affected homes, in a global effort that involved the movement of tons of products to the most affected areas.

“From the very first moment, CTT put its logistics network and operational capacity at the service of the country. More than transporting essential goods, we transported the solidarity of the Portuguese people to the affected communities, in a collective effort that demonstrated the importance of proximity and responsiveness in critical moments,” says Maria Rebelo, CTT's Director of Sustainability.

This action reflects CTT's commitment to supporting the population and territorial cohesion, based on a close relationship that is one of the central pillars of its operations. As operators of the largest retail and local contact network in the country, CTT puts its national presence, its deep knowledge of the territory and its logistics infrastructure at the service of communities, responding quickly and effectively to the needs of those who need it most, particularly in emergency situations.
