According to local Civil Defense, the level of the Guaíba River dropped today to 4.70 meters, after having reached peaks of 5.30 meters, but remains well above the flood level, which is three meters.
The climate tragedy that affected the entire south of Brazil has so far caused 155 deaths, 154 of which occurred in Rio Grande do Sul and one death was registered in the state of Santa Catarina.
Local authorities confirm that there are still 98 missing and more than 600,000 displaced.
According to the latest report from Civil Defense, the rain has so far caused almost 2.2 million victims and damage in 461 of the 497 municipalities in Rio Grande do Sul.
Currently, 78,165 people are in temporary shelters set up due to the catastrophe caused by the rains that began to fall heavily at the end of April and whose great intensity is linked to climate change, according to meteorology experts.
Since the beginning of the floods, 82,666 people and almost 12,000 animals have been rescued by the Brazilian authorities.
The governor of Rio Grande do Sul, Eduardo Leite, announced today, at a press conference, new measures aimed at people affected by the floods.
The Brazilian President, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, created an extraordinary ministry to coordinate the reconstruction of the region, where 90% of the municipalities were affected to a greater or lesser extent by torrential rains and floods and announced several financial aid packages, including direct subsidies, loans at advantageous rates and postponement of payment of debts from Rio Grande do Sul to the central government.
