The Ministry of National Integration found emergency in 12 municipalities of Paraíba. The state was hit by heavy rains this year and is unable to repair the damage from their own resources. The order published in the Official Gazette today (31) authorizes the transfer of R$ 5 million as extraordinary credit.
The funds will be used in the reconstruction of houses in the municipalities of Livramento, Taperoá, Igaracy, Poço José de Moura, São Francisco, Congo, Santa Cruz, Camalaú, Vieirópolis, Bernardino Batista e Sousa. Livramento will also have work to repair dams and bridges.
The transfer of resources must occur within 180 days from the publication of the decree, which comes into force today.
The rains triggered floods in Paraiba and flooded several towns, leaving people stranded and homeless in some locations. The flooding occurred mainly in river areas, with mudslides in many places.
