Apucarana City Council approves civil defense fund after severe storm

Apucarana Civil Defense Fund FUMPDEC emergency declaration storm damage

The Apucarana City Council has unanimously approved Project of Law No. 155/2026, establishing the Municipal Protection and Civil Defense Fund (FUMPDEC). The initiative, proposed by Mayor Rodolfo Mota, was passed during an extraordinary session following severe weather damage in the region.

The fund is designed to create a dedicated financial and accounting mechanism to receive and manage transfers from state and federal governments, as well as private donations. This structure is a legal requirement for the municipality to access direct fund-to-fund transfers intended for disaster relief and reconstruction.

The legislative action follows a major storm on September 21 that brought wind gusts of nearly 125 km/h and hail, causing significant damage to residences, public buildings, and infrastructure, while disrupting water and electricity services. Mayor Mota had previously declared a state of emergency on September 22, a measure recognized by the State of Paraná.
