Ananindeua mapping identifies 79 risk areas

The Municipal Risk Reduction Plan (PMRR) in Ananindeua, developed with the Federal Rural University of the Amazon (Ufra), has identified 79 risk sectors. The survey highlights 74 areas prone to flooding and five areas at risk of fluvial erosion, affecting 1,364 buildings located in vulnerable spots.

Prevention proposals aim to benefit more than 5,000 people. The study, coordinated by Professor Milena Andrade through the Geodesastres research group, is part of the ‘Periferia Sem Risco’ public policy from the Ministry of Cities. The plan involves the Ananindeua City Hall and community leaders, with completion expected by November 2026.

Priority neighborhoods for intervention include Guajará, Coqueiro, Maguari-Cajuí, Distrito Industrial, and Jiboia Branca. The mapping covers various urban areas and the João Pilatos island, aiming to guide infrastructure investments and disaster prevention efforts.
