In an interview with CNN , Maria Clara Sassaki, meteorologist at Climatempo, said that despite the lower rainfall in the Northeast, the alert continues. “The expectation is still unstable weather. In fact, the rain does not come with large accumulated volumes, like what happened in the last few days. Now, little by little, the instabilities are becoming more isolated and with less water.”
In any case, she highlighted that the storm still has the potential to cause inconvenience, because it will occur in an area that is already very affected, such as the metropolitan region of Recife, areas of Maceió, Alagoas, areas of João Pessoa in Paraíba.
“The alert is for landslides, not for the amount of water.”
The rains in Pernambuco have already left more than 128 dead. And about 82 thousand families in extreme poverty affected by the rains in Pernambuco will receive emergency aid of R$ 1.5 thousand, announced on Friday (3) the governor Paulo Câmara.
Recife
Also on Friday, the mayor of Recife, João Campos, announced aid of R$ 1,000, also paid in a single installment, to families registered with CadÚnico who live in risk and flooding areas recognized by the local Civil Defense.
The mayor also announced a 50% increase in the housing allowance, which will rise from R$200 to R$300. The Recife City Council transferred R$15 million of its own funds to help the city hall’s cash.
