Rescue operations were suspended overnight this Saturday (11) in Porto Alegre due to heavy rains that hit Rio Grande do Sul.
With intermittent rainfall throughout the day, authorities fear an increase in the level of the Guaíba River, which has already exceeded 5 meters in previous days, causing severe flooding in the capital of Rio Grande do Sul.
Solidarity amid the crisis
Despite the overnight stoppage of rescues, volunteers remain active, distributing donations such as food, clothing and supplies to affected families. Solidarity is a crucial factor in this challenging time, with the community coming together to support each other.
Rescue teams resume their operations during the day, carrying out rescues of people and animals in areas affected by flooding. However, roadblocks and access roads have made travel difficult, especially for residents of the interior of the state.
Resilience and reconstruction
Despite the challenges, the people of Rio Grande do Sul demonstrate resilience and determination to rebuild what was lost. The state government has been working to free up some routes, but the destruction caused by the floods will require months of work to restore damaged infrastructure.
Local authorities continue to closely monitor the situation, ready to act in the event of overnight emergencies. The priority is to ensure the safety of the population and provide assistance to homeless families.
