The State Hydrometeorological Service has issued an orange warning for strong winds for April 26, 2026. According to forecasts, between 10:00 and 21:00, large areas will experience intensification of northwesterly winds, with gusts of up to 19–24 m/s, and even up to 26 m/s in some places.
The General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations (IGSU) is warning the population about the increased risks of vegetation fires, falling trees and other dangerous situations, and is issuing a string of recommendations to prevent incidents.
The authorities urge citizens to act responsibly and to follow these safety measures:
• avoid burning dry vegetation or household waste in open spaces;
• do not throw cigarette butts, lit matches or other flammable objects on land with dry vegetation;
• avoid staying near old trees, power lines or unstable objects;
• do not touch power cables that have fallen to the ground, in order to prevent the risk of electrocution;
• park vehicles in safe places, away from trees, tall buildings or objects that may fall;
• supervise children and do not allow them to play near trees or damaged structures;
• limit outdoor travel during strong wind gusts.
The IGSU emphasizes that the observance of these recommendations can prevent emergency situations and protect lives and property.
