The Capivari City Hall has temporarily closed the Murilo Ferreira Carnicelli Ecological Park because of a meteorological storm alert that warns of potential lightning strikes, strong winds, and hail. This decision, taken on Thursday, October 19, is a precautionary measure given the park's high concentration of trees and the risk posed by strong wind gusts recorded in the area. The park will remain closed until it is safe to reopen.

The alert from the city’s Civil Defense indicates that the storm is impacting the region and is characterized by lightning, intense winds, and the possibility of hail, extending risks to neighboring municipalities as well. Alongside these severe weather conditions, there is a threat of associated disturbances such as flooding, flash floods, landslides, and other incidents linked to intense hydrometeorological events. Measures are being taken to ensure public safety as the community prepares for these extreme weather conditions.

This situation comes as a result of a yellow alert issued by the National Institute of Meteorology (INMET), highlighting the need for caution among residents in the affected areas. Local authorities are urging citizens to remain vigilant due to the potential dangers posed by the storm and to stay informed about further updates regarding weather conditions and safety advice.
