In Jardim do Seridó, the MPRN recommended emergency structural reforms for the Comissão Dam following technical inspections that identified cracks and erosion. The municipality was authorized to perform compulsory interventions to prevent a disaster. In Serra do Mel, the MPRN recommended increased transparency regarding parliamentary amendments, requiring the restructuring of transparency portals within 90 days.
