Emergency action prevents flooding during heavy rains
The Civil Defense of Foz do Iguaçu identified blockages in the water transfer conduits of the Mathias Almada River, in Jardim Ipanema, and carried out an emergency clearing. The work restored flow capacity and reduced the risk of overflows during periods of heavy rain.
During recent inspections in areas registered as flood‑prone, the Civil Defense team found a critical situation in the region. The inspected points are located on Rua D and Avenida Irio Manganelli, where the water‑transfer structures were almost completely compromised by sediment buildup and accumulation of tree branches and other materials.
Civil Defense called on the Municipal Works Department, which, through the Stormwater Galleries sector, performed the clearing and adaptation of the structure using machinery. The work is part of the agency's preventive actions, aimed at minimizing impacts caused by extreme weather events such as El Niño.
Intensified monitoring by the Civil Defense of Foz do Iguaçu is ongoing, especially with the forecasted arrival of the climate phenomenon.
