In the Nova Friburgo region, natural disasters such as floods and landslides are no exception, but a recurring reality. They destroy homes, endanger lives and repeatedly tear families from their everyday lives.
People who already live in difficult conditions are particularly affected. They often lack the knowledge, preparation and functioning structures to be able to react quickly and in a coordinated manner in an emergency. This further exacerbates the consequences of disasters - and short-term crises become long-term burdens for entire communities.
