The group found a family of nine stranded in a house. Residents asked for water, food and animal food for the six dogs that live there. In another part of the city, with cars submerged and water on the roofs of houses, another resident also asked for food. Residents prefer to stay in their houses.
Last Saturday (4), the city council advised the population of the entire west side of the city to leave their homes and seek shelter in higher and safer places in the municipality. More than 50 thousand people live in risk areas.

Donations
Faced with the public calamity situation faced in the State, the government of Rio Grande do Sul reactivated the donation channel for the “SOS Rio Grande do Sul” account to receive donations via Pix that will be donated to the victims.
The Government of Rio Grande do Sul and Civil Defense announced two ways to receive donations:

Pix for the SOS Rio Grande do Sul account

Attention: when carrying out the operation, it is necessary to confirm that the name of the account that appears is “SOS Rio Grande do Sul” and that the bank is Banrisul.
The management and supervision of resources will be the responsibility of a Management Committee, chaired by the Civil House Secretariat and composed of representatives from government bodies and social entities. The resources will be fully used for humanitarian support for flood victims and for the reconstruction of the cities’ infrastructure.
