Storm Kristin support applications close on July 20 — anyone still eligible has four days
Applications for the extraordinary support scheme for storm Kristin, extended nationwide by ordinance 181/2026/1, end on July 20. What is still open and where to apply.
Apply / Learn moreStraight answer for anyone hit by storm Kristin at the start of the year: the application window for the extraordinary support scheme, in its version extended to councils nationwide, closes on July 20 — Monday. If you have documented losses and have not yet applied, you have precisely one weekend left.
The scheme grew out of the calamity declared in February and has been fine-tuned by successive ordinances; the one that matters for this deadline is ordinance 181/2026/1, which stretched eligibility beyond the initial list of councils.
Which storm Kristin supports are still open?
It depends on the strand. Applications for permanent own housing closed back in April, but the processes for affected farms and businesses stayed open under the territorial extension — and that is the window closing on July 20. The regional development commissions (CCDRs) are the entry point: the Centro region gathers everything on its Tempestades 2026 page, and several town halls run help desks for filling in the forms.
What do you need to apply?
Evidence, above all: photos of the damage, repair invoices or quotes, records of the farm or business activity, and the usual identification documents. If eligibility is unclear, contact your region’s CCDR before Monday — an imperfect application submitted beats a perfect one out of time.
This is the kind of money that expires without a second warning: across the funding calls we track every week, the pattern repeats — people who put the deadline in the calendar get paid, people who trust their memory miss out.
