The Great Terramoto-Calamida of Lisbon of 1755 was the most immediate and generalized Portuguese news issue in Europe.
It was after the eruption of Vesuvius, which, in 79 AD, buried Pompeii and Herculanum, the most famous natural disaster in the West. In a few hours, the third port of Europe and one of its most beautiful capitals was ravaged by the four elements in a veritable apocalypse. It did, it is estimated, at least fifteen thousand dead, perhaps much more. Beyond sideration, writers asked a new question: was it God's will?
This Saturday, 270 years from the capital of Lisbon. No Catarino, a security specialist, says that the country currently continues without funds for disasters, mainly symmetrical. "This anniversary reminds us of the possibility of a return to this magnitude," warns CNN Portugal's guest.
270 years ago, on November 1, 1755, the earth quaked in the Portuguese capital. A cultural shock for the whole European continent.
A new book presented this Saturday opens the door to the knowledge of the land of 1755, of a former Lisbon disaster and of the answer to destruction. During the morning sirens will echo the country.
Simulations, 24-hour surveillance and citizen training are some of the tools available to Portugal to prevent the impact of potential tsunamis, when tomorrow, Saturday, marks the 270th anniversary of the earthquake and subsequent tsunami that destroyed Lisbon in 1755. The 24-hour tsunami surveillance entry, 270 years after the tsunami that destroyed Lisbon was first published in the Digital Process.
