Resumo: The aim of this study is to analyse the impacts of the Hercules storm in Portugal. The storm occurred from January 5th to 7th, 2014. A brief characterization of the storm was conducted and the witnesses’ accounts were compiled, complemented with field survey before and after the storm. The results show that this event had origin in a strong system of low pressure that hit Portugal. The system triggered strong sea waves with long periods, run-ups between 6 to 9 m, and inundation depths mostly under 1 m. The effects on the Portuguese coastline showed some weaknesses in the spatial planning management: (i) the fact that a wave train restricted to the beaches, front streets, ports and marinas caused significant damage; (ii) some people ignored the emergency management authorities, putting themselves in a risk situation.

Caracteriza-se brevemente a tempestade, e apresentam-se os relatos das testemunhas e os resultados do trabalho de campo anterior e posterior à tempestade. Este evento teve origem num forte sistema depressionário que provocou forte agitação marítima, ondas de longo período, run-ups de 6 a 9 m, com profundidades de inundação em geral inferiores a 1m. Os efeitos no litoral português ilustram algumas fraquezas no ordenamento e gestão do território: (i) o facto de um conjunto de ondas, mesmo restringidas às praias, marginais, portos e marinas, ter causado elevados prejuízos materiais; (ii) a circunstância de os avisos das autoridades da gestão da emergência terem sido ignorados por indivíduos, que assim se colocaram em situação de risco.La tempête “Hercule” a touché le Portugal du 5 au 7 janvier 2014. Pour analyser ses conséquences, on l’a sommairement caractérisée, on a recueilli divers témoignages et on a observé le terrain, avant et après la tempête. Ce système dépressionnaire accentué a provoqué une forte agitation maritime, avec des vagues de longue période et de 6 à 9 m d’amplitude. Les dégâts enregistrés révèlent certaines faiblesses de gestion de la part des autorités : i) Il est anormal que des vagues n’ayant touché qu’une étroite bande littorale aient provoqué de tels dégâts matériels; ii) Les avis de danger émis par l’organisme chargé de gérer les situations périlleuses ont été ignorées par certaines personnes, qui ont ainsi couru des risques.Universidade de Lisboa, Centro de Estudos GeográficosRepositório da Universidade de LisboaSantos, ÂngelaMendes, SusanaCorte-Real, João2018-11-30T10:49:18Z20142014-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10451/35541engSantos, A., Mendes, S., Corte-Real, J.
