Slips in Imbituva leave nine people homeless and put four houses at risk
Slips in Imbituva leave nine people homeless in Vila Zezo. Two houses were affected and four others remain under monitoring.
Heavy rains recorded in the municipality of Imbituva, in the Campos Gerais do Paraná, caused landslides in Vila Zezo, leaving nine people homeless and two homes compromised. The damage was recorded after the high volume of rain on October 14 and led to the removal of two families from their homes.
According to the information gathered, one of the families consists of five people, while the other has four members. Both had to leave the properties due to the risks caused by the movement of the soil.
The landslides hit land located in the back of the residences, in Rua João Gustosa. One of the houses, number 220, was hit by the landslide, while the neighboring property, number 230, also had to be banned for security reasons.
The two affected families are already being served through social rent, a benefit that guarantees assistance for temporary housing in the face of the impossibility of staying in the properties.
Four other homes are being monitored.
In addition to the two houses directly affected, four other homes located on the same street are being monitored due to the risk of new landslides.
The properties under monitoring are those of numbers 240, 250, 260 and 270, all close to the houses that have already needed to be vacated. There is a possibility that new families will have to leave their homes if a deterioration in the security conditions of the land is identified.
According to the survey of damage, the region presents soil characteristics that, associated with the large volume of rain, favor the movement of land and increase the risks for the constructions.
Area underwent urban redevelopment project in 2022
One of the points that draws attention in the survey is that the area affected by the landslides passed through the Urban Requalification Project, delivered in 2022.
Despite the interventions carried out previously, the region was considered to be at risk after the heavy rains and landslides recorded in October.
The damage assessment report points out that the retired families will not be able to return to their homes due to the conditions of the land and the possibility of new land movements.
The situation remains under monitoring, especially in the four neighboring houses that are still being monitored. To date, nine people have had to leave their homes, and the number of families affected could increase if further bans are needed.
