According to data from the Municipal Civil Defense, this Tuesday (1st) the ruler dawned measuring only 7.61 meters, much lower than the warning quota that is 14 meters.
“It is important to emphasize that this year the level exceeded the warning quota in early March, but thank God, there were no homeless families. Apparently the greatest danger over the flood has passed. Anyway, our team continues to monitor,” said Carlos Davila, representative of Civil Defense.
Usually when the Iaco River begins to fill the Praia do Amarílio neighborhood is the first to be affected. “The difficulties are many. Last year, we had to leave the house and stayed in the shelter for several days. It takes a lot of work to make the changes and we end up losing many things,” confirmed resident Antonio Carlos de Lima, from Praia do Amarílio.
Historically, the largest floods in Madureira Seine occurred in 1997 and 2021, respectively. In 1997, for example, IACO level surpassed the 19 meters and hundreds of families were homeless.
