The Civil Defense of the State of São Paulo has issued a warning about the expected heavy rains in the regions of Itapeva and Sorocaba between Tuesday and Friday, caused by the passage of a cold front. This warning highlights the potential for intense rainfall in various areas, prompting authorities to alert residents to stay informed through official channels.

Residents in these regions are particularly urged to take preventive actions due to the increased risk of flooding, flash floods, and landslides as continuous rainfall saturates the soil. The Civil Defense elaborates that those living in vulnerable locations, such as hillside areas, should be especially vigilant and monitor for warning signs, including cracks in the ground or walls and shifts in utility poles or trees.

In the event of any signs of danger, the Civil Defense strongly advises residents to evacuate the area immediately and contact emergency services at designated numbers (199 for Civil Defense and 193 for Fire Department). As the situation develops, residents are encouraged to heed further updates and adhere to safety recommendations to minimize risks during this weather event.
