Brazil weather alerts trigger school closures and crisis cabinet FAST-MOVING

Severe weather alerts have been issued across several Brazilian states, including São Paulo, Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Mato Grosso do Sul. The National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet) has issued warnings for intense storms, high winds exceeding 100 km/h, hail, and the potential formation of tornadoes, likely driven by an extratropical cyclone off the coast of Paraná.

In response, the Government of São Paulo has activated a Crisis Cabinet to coordinate emergency services and has ordered the suspension of classes in state-run schools, Etecs, and Fatecs across several regions, including Marília, Presidente Prudente, Itapeva, Sorocaba, and Registro. Local municipalities, such as Marília and Adamantina, have also implemented preventive measures, including the suspension of municipal school activities and the opening of reception centers in vulnerable areas.

In other regions, Campinas has reported record-breaking rainfall for September, while Ubatuba remains on alert for potential landslides and mass movements due to high precipitation levels. Authorities advise the population to seek shelter in secure buildings and avoid open areas, trees, and electrical structures during the storms.
