Storm Causes Landslides and Takes Hundreds of Lives in Petrópolis, Brazil
On February 15th, Petrópolis, located in the mountains north of Rio de Janeiro, faced its biggest storm since 1932, according to the National Center for Monitoring Natural Disasters (Cemaden) and the National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet). The intense rainfall caused landslides and took the life of over a hundred people, displacing thousands. Petrópolis is another victim of governmental neglect when facing Climate Crisis, which intensifies extreme events like this.
Brazilian states must decrete Climate Emergency and set adaptation plans in motion to avoid an even more hostile future, specially to the people most impacted by extreme events.
In original language:
Temporal Causa Deslizamentos e Tira a Vida de Mais de Cem Pessoas em Petrópolis (RJ)
No dia 15/02, Petrópolis, na região serrana do Rio de Janeiro, enfrentou a maior chuva desde 1932, segundo informações do Centro Nacional de Monitoramento e Alertas de Desastres Naturais (Cemaden) e do Instituto Nacional de Meteorologia (Inmet). As fortes chuvas causaram deslizamentos e tiraram a vida de mais de cem pessoas, desabrigando milhares. Petrópolis é mais uma vítima do descaso com a Crise Climática, que agrava e intensifica eventos extremos como este.
É urgente que os estados decretem Emergência Climática e coloquem em prática planos de adaptação para evitar um futuro ainda mais hostil, especialmente às populações mais afetadas.
