Bandeirantes municipal government decreed a situation of public calamity in the city
The municipality of Bandeirantes, in the north of Paraná, recorded a large volume of rain on Saturday (4.Mar.2023). A dam in the region overflowed and the water invaded houses. With that, the prefecture decreed a situation of public calamity in the city.
In a note, the local government stated that there are Civil Defense assistance posts in schools in the municipality,“where specialized personnel provide care and receive material to help the victims, such as clothes, foodstuffs and tarpaulins”.
On social media, residents shared records of the rain damage. One of the rivers that crosses the city overflowed and covered up streets and residences. Schools will continue to function as shelters in the coming days.
