# Brazilian municipal funding and disaster relief > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/brazilian-municipal-funding-and-disaster-relief > Updated: 2026-09-19T18:33:49.000Z. Sources: 5. Developments: 2. Data from the National Confederation of Municipalities (CNM) indicates a significant gap in federal funding for municipal civil defense in Brazil. Between 2010 and August 2026, only 29.3% of the R$ 38.7 billion promised by the federal government was transferred to local governments, totaling R$ 10.6 billion. This funding shortfall occurred alongside severe disasters between July and August 2026 that affected over 4.7 million people and caused economic losses exceeding R$ 8.2 billion. In a separate development regarding municipal finances, the Municipal Participation Fund (FPM) is scheduled to distribute R$ 2.8 billion to municipalities in mid-September 2026. This represents an increase from the R$ 1.5 billion transferred during the same period the previous year. Experts attribute this increase to legislative compensation for previous negative performance and higher federal revenue driven by rising oil prices. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-19: Brazilian municipalities to receive R$ 2.8 billion in FPM transfers Brazilian municipalities will receive R$ 2.8 billion in FPM transfers this Friday, a notable increase from the R$ 1.5 billion distributed during the same period last year. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/brazilian-municipalities-to-receive-r-28-billion-in-fpm-transfers ### 2026-09-17: Brazil municipal civil defense receives only 29% of promised federal funds Only 29.3% of the R$ 38.7 billion promised by the Brazilian federal government for municipal civil defense was transferred to local governments between 2010 and August 2026. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/brazil-municipal-civil-defense-receives-only-29-of-promised-federal-funds --- Cite as: Brazilian municipal funding and disaster relief.
