Delay in the Census Blocks Update of Data on Population Living in Disaster-Prone Areas

The Brazilian government announced a crucial update for data guiding policies for those at risk from extreme climate events, but after two years, there's still no release date for the new information.

In November 2023, the Brazilian federal government announced plans to update a critical dataset intended to guide protective policies for populations vulnerable to extreme weather events. However, over two years later, no timeline for the data publication has been established. This delay in releasing the updated data has significant implications for disaster management and response strategies.
