On Tuesday, October 24, heavy rainfall hit the mountainous region of Campos dos Goytacazes in Northern Fluminense, Brazil, causing significant flooding in various localities. In the neighborhoods of Rio Preto, streets were submerged while in the community of Aleluia, a local stream overflowed, complicating residents' return home due to mud. Emergency services were deployed by the municipal Civil Defense after a landslide blocked the access road to the quilombola community of Fazenda de Aleluia, though traffic was subsequently resumed as water levels receded.

The state Civil Defense issued an emergency alert for intense rainfall in Campos on the same day, underscoring the severity of the weather situation, although the mayor noted that the rainfall had not impacted other areas of the city to the same extent. Additionally, in adjacent Northern Fluminense, landslides occurred along the RJ-158 in São Fidélis, prompting rapid response teams to clear debris and ensure that the roadway was re-opened for travelers.

This event highlights the ongoing vulnerability of certain regions in Brazil to extreme weather patterns, raising concerns about infrastructure and public safety in the face of climate change. It illustrates the need for preparedness and response measures by municipal and state authorities to mitigate impacts from such natural disasters for local communities, particularly in areas prone to flooding and landslides.
