About This Trend
Defesa Civil is the Brazilian government agency responsible for disaster management and civil protection, providing alerts and guidance to the public through the Sistema Nacional de Proteção e Defesa Civil.
The agency is trending due to its recent weather alerts warning of potential instabilities caused by moderate to strong rain, thunderstorms, and wind in several regions. Additionally, Defesa Civil has implemented a new SMS emergency alert system to notify residents in 36 municipalities in the Northeast about potential risks, marking a significant step in enhancing public safety and disaster response.
