Families impacted by recent rain-related disasters in Ubá are now eligible to register for the 'Auxílio Reconstrução,' a financial aid program from the federal government that provides R$ 7,300 to those affected. The program aims to support households that have suffered losses due to flooding, flash floods, or landslides, similar to those experienced in nearby Juiz de Fora. Notably, the assistance is not restricted to those enrolled in the Cadastro Único and will not be counted as income for benefits like Bolsa Família or Benefício de Prestação Continuada (BPC).

Citizens interested in this aid are required to register in person at the Social Development Secretariat in Ubá. Registration is available on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Applicants must bring identification documents for all family members as well as proof of residence. For those who have lost their documents due to the flooding, authorities are providing guidance on how to obtain replacements, ensuring that everyone has access to the support they need during this difficult time.

The initiative underscores the Brazilian government's commitment to assisting communities affected by natural disasters, emphasizing a broader strategy for disaster recovery and social support. By making this aid accessible to a broad range of families, the government aims to facilitate a quicker recovery process for those impacted by the recent calamities in the region, reflecting a proactive approach to disaster response and social welfare enhancement.
