No one should be living there," says Elizabeth after tragedy in Ronda in PG

The mayor of Ponta Grossa, Elizabeth Schmidt, regretted the landslide in the Round that ended with the deaths of three people on Thursday morning and said that teams of the Municipality are working to identify other families who remain in areas considered at risk. During an interview with BnT Online at the scene of the tragedy, Elizabeth said the affected residence was in a region “where no one should be living.”

"The situation of what happened here, having as a victim three people, two adults and a child, in a place where no one should be living. That’s what I think,” said the mayor.

The tragedy took place on Republic of Panama Street, in the Ronda neighborhood. Kauan da Silva, Jaqueline de Lima Andrade and Vinícius Hendrik L. Machado, 5 years old, died after land hit the residence. The child was rescued alive and received medical attention, but did not resist.

Houses nearby pass for evaluation

According to Elizabeth, several municipal bodies and emergency teams remain mobilized in the region to evaluate the conditions of the properties near the point where the landslide occurred.

The mayor cited the performance of Defesa Civil, Fire Department, Samu, Municipal Civil Guard and other sectors of the Municipality.

“Everyone was here and they are still here, doing the survey of this whole area. The number of people who still live in the area of risk, so that they are removed, so that they are banned,” he said.

The Fire Department had already warned of the possibility of new land movements due to the soaked soil. According to Captain Bacuri, the large volume of accumulated rain increases the risk in hillside regions, and Defesa Civil has begun the analysis of other nearby houses.

Families may receive social rent

Asked where families would be sent if new homes were banned, Elizabeth said FASPG could provide support to residents.

“Most have already said that they go to the home of relatives, but if it is the case, they have social rent, there are several other measures that can be taken,” he explained.

Thus, the measures must be defined according to the situation of each family and the result of the evaluations carried out in the properties.

Prefect shows concern with Rio Ronda

Elizabeth also commented on the reflections of the heavy rain recorded on Ponta Grossa and said that other regions of the city are being followed by municipal teams.

The mayor also expressed concern about the level of the Rio Ronda and said she would go to the region to check the situation.

According to Elizabeth, different points of the municipality record floods and floods and are being evaluated by the teams responsible.
