Rio Branco geological and hydrological risk assessment

Overview

A municipal risk-reduction plan in Rio Branco, Acre, has identified 87 areas subject to geological and hydrological hazards. The study, conducted by the Serviço Geológico do Brasil in partnership with the Ministério das Cidades and the Defesa Civil Municipal, indicates that approximately 44,068 residents living in roughly 11,017 dwellings are located within these zones.

Risk levels are categorized into 14 very high-risk sectors, 51 high-risk sectors, and 22 medium-risk sectors. Flooding is the primary hazard, accounting for nearly 60% of identified risks due to the recurrent rising of the Rio Acre and its tributaries. The most affected neighborhoods include Cidade Nova and Quinze, followed by Taquari, 6 de Agosto, and Recanto dos Buritis. Very-high-risk sectors are concentrated in Dom Giocondo, Novo Horizonte, 6 de Agosto, Taquari, and the Igarapé da Judia area. The plan intends to provide a technical basis for future urban planning and emergency response interventions.
