The municipality of João Pessoa is expanding the use of its Smart City video monitoring technology for public safety and administrative coordination.

In late September 2026, the city announced a partnership with the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) to implement an emergency alert system via television and radio. Developed with the Federal University of Paraíba, the system aims to broadcast urgent signals regarding climate events, public health, and security concerns.

Simultaneously, the Metropolitan Civil Guard (GCM) has begun coordinating with the Regional Electoral Court of Paraíba (TRE-PB) to prepare for the 2026 elections. This security planning involves using the city’s network of 9,000 cameras to monitor public buildings used as polling stations and their surrounding areas.
