Flooding and infrastructure disruptions in Brazil

Overview

Heavy rainfall has caused significant flooding and infrastructure disruptions across different regions of Brazil.

In Igrejinha, the Rio Paranhana reached a critical level of 3.5 meters, leading authorities to temporarily suspend vehicle traffic on a central bridge. Residents were also placed under a moderate alert for potential landslides following heavy precipitation in the Vale do Paranhana and Serra regions.

In Paraná, flooding of the Rio Ivaí and Rio Paranavaí has resulted in multiple road closures. Specifically, the bridge on the PR-554 highway between São Jorge do Ivaí and Doutor Camargo is closed, and the PR-559 bridge is also impassable. Additionally, traffic on the PR-464 has been restricted due to erosion risks and flooding, prompting authorities to advise motorists to use alternative routes.
