Civil Defense conducts inspections in homes after rains and evaluates return of families in Mongaguá

The Civil Defense in Mongaguá is inspecting homes affected by recent heavy rains and assessing when displaced families can return home.

The Civil Defense agency is actively conducting technical inspections in residential areas of Mongaguá, a municipality in the coastal region of São Paulo, following significant rainfall that impacted the area on the previous Thursday. Currently, there are 73 displaced individuals along with 14 dogs sheltered in a municipal facility. These inspections aim to evaluate the safety and habitability of the homes, which is a prerequisite for families to return if conditions allow.

Local authorities have classified the situation in Mongaguá as being at a 'Level of Observation', indicating a moderate risk following the flooding. Reports indicate that the water level has decreased by approximately 30 centimeters over the past day, enabling improved access to previously flooded rural areas. This gradual recovery is crucial for reinstating normalcy in the affected communities, as residents are eager to return to their homes.

Additionally, the Civil Defense has been actively involved in providing humanitarian assistance, distributing aid kits to affected residents. This effort not only addresses immediate needs but also reflects the municipal administration's commitment to ensuring the well-being of its citizens during this challenging time. The focus remains on both immediate relief and the long-term recovery of the affected areas as inspections continue.
