Following severe weather events between August and September, including a major storm on September 21, the federal government recognized a state of emergency in Marilândia do Sul. The disaster caused significant damage, affecting at least 226 people through uprooted trees and broken utility poles.

In response to the emergency status, residents became eligible for the FGTS Calamity Withdrawal (Saque Calamidade), allowing workers to access severance pay funds. Local administrations have provided guidance to facilitate this process.

In Apucarana, Mayor Rodolfo Mota clarified that workers affected by windstorms can withdraw up to R$ 6,220, depending on their account balances. The municipal administration is coordinating with Caixa Econômica Federal to assist both active and inactive account holders. Officials emphasized that applications must be submitted exclusively through the official FGTS mobile application to prevent scams.
