In the Nova Poxoréu district of Poxoréu, Brazil, at least 30 families are currently living in an area identified as high risk for landslides due to recent heavy rainfall. The local government has conducted a preliminary survey revealing that the community has a significant population of over 10,000 families living in irregular conditions, largely due to invasions over the years. Despite the identified risks, officials have not yet begun the evacuation process but are assessing the situation for each family involved.

Heavy rains have compounded the situation, with reports indicating that around 120 millimeters fell within a few hours on Monday, significantly exceeding previously recorded rainfall. A team from the state Civil Defense has been deployed to the area to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the potential impact of the recent weather on local residents. The government has stated they are monitoring the situation closely and keeping a team on-site to respond to any emerging needs or crises.

In addition to immediate safety assessments, the municipality has announced plans to implement a project aimed at mitigating the risks associated with the extreme weather impacts, though specific details of the initiative remain unclear at this time. The situation highlights the challenges faced by residents in precarious living conditions, particularly in the context of increasing weather volatility, and underscores the urgent need for local government intervention in ensuring community safety and stability.
