Environmental and health risk management in Mato Grosso do-S
Overview
Authorities in Mato Grosso do Sul are implementing measures to address environmental risks and climate-related challenges. The state has launched the ‘Pantanal Vivo e Saudável’ program, a 24-month multidisciplinary project coordinated by the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul to study how environmental and social factors impact population health. This initiative includes training health professionals across nine regions to prepare for heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, and intense rainfall, with a focus on vulnerable indigenous and riverside communities.
In parallel, the Environmental Institute of Mato Grosso do Sul (Imasul) has updated regulations for assessing dam failure risks. The new criteria move beyond reservoir size to incorporate the potential impact on residents, social and economic activities, and protected areas. These updated classifications, which align with 2024 national standards, will determine safety obligations and the necessity of Emergency Action Plans for various reservoir capacities.
