In the meantime, on March 5, after the floodwaters had subsided somewhat, a relief team was formed to travel to the town of Aldeia da Barragem, located in one of the first regions to be flooded.
Vahepeal, 5. märtsil, pärast seda, kui tulvaveed olid mingil määral taandunud, moodustati abistamisrühm, kes saadeti Aldeia da Barragemi linna, mis asus ühes neist piirkondadest, mida tulvaveed kõigepealt laastasid.
