The Civil Defense of São Paulo reported that intense rainfall in the municipality of São Manuel led to the displacement of approximately 200 individuals and affected around 50 residences. This follows a significant weather event on Monday, which included the collapse of the Machados Bridge. The conditions worsened with further rainfall on Tuesday afternoon, prompting flooding and overflow of local rivers, which contributed to the damage in the city.

Affected families have been evacuated to the homes of relatives as authorities, including the municipal government and Civil Defense, continue to monitor the situation closely. The impact of the rainfall has been widespread, affecting both urban areas and rural neighborhoods. Critical areas hit include Jardim Ouro Verde, Recanto Ouro Verde, and several others throughout the city.

As local authorities respond to the crisis, their focus will likely be on assessing the structural integrity of the remaining infrastructure, as well as providing support to those displaced. This incident highlights the increasing vulnerability of urban areas in Brazil to severe weather events, necessitating enhanced preparedness and disaster response strategies.
