The Civil Defense of São Gonçalo initiated disaster prevention and mitigation efforts through the ‘Civil Defense in the Neighborhoods’ project. This phase involved inspections in areas such as Amendoeira and Lagoinha to identify vulnerabilities and prevent collapses.

Following these preparatory actions, the city executed a simulated evacuation drill in the Nova Grécia neighborhood as part of the ‘São Gonçalo Resiliente’ project. The exercise trained residents to respond to siren alerts triggered by heavy rainfall or landslide risks, directing them to a designated support point at the Presidente João Belchior Marques Goulart Municipal School. 

Beyond emergency training, the initiative integrated community services, including vaccinations, health monitoring, and social assistance. Officials used the drill to test siren volume, evaluate community adherence to evacuation protocols, and conduct further risk assessments.
