According to the National Center for Monitoring and Warning of Natural Disasters (Cemaden), nine cities in the Paraíba Valley and North Coast of Brazil are currently under a moderate alert for landslides and flooding. This alert is particularly focused on municipalities most vulnerable to natural disasters, especially during heavy rainfall, emphasizing the risks associated with such weather phenomena. The cities listed include Bragança Paulista, Atibaia, São José dos Campos, São Sebastião, São Luiz do Paraitinga, Cunha, Ubatuba, Caraguatatuba, and Ilhabela.
Cemaden continuously monitors meteorological and geological conditions, issuing warnings for potential incidents such as land slides and floods. Just a day earlier, eight cities in the region faced a similar alert with São Sebastião and Ubatuba experiencing high-risk conditions highlighted in orange on monitoring maps. This proactive approach aims to inform local populations and authorities to mitigate the impact of such adverse weather events.
The increased frequency of alerts underscores the growing concerns about climate change and its impact on weather patterns, particularly in vulnerable regions such as the Paraíba Valley. Local governments and residents are urged to take necessary precautions to safeguard lives and property as they face these environmental challenges.
