Rio Grande do Sul is experiencing the worst climate catastrophe in recent history after a strong storm which, since last Wednesday, 1st, left dead, missing and hundreds of thousands of people affected.

In Porto Alegre, the historic GuaĆ­ba flood, which reached a height of 5.3 meters, caused damage and flooding throughout the metropolitan region of the capital of Rio Grande do Sul. The flood level of the river is 3 metres.

The rains also caused interruptions in the supply of electricity, water, telephone and internet in several parts of the state.

The intervention teams initially work to save residents stranded in the flooded areas, while donation and assistance actions for the displaced are organised.
