Thursday brought another wave of heavy rain to Rio Grande do Sul, exacerbating the impact of the floods on communities that were just starting to see reprieve. This unprecedented rainfall has resulted in at least 163 lives lost and more than 640,000 people displaced. Although access to many roads has been limited due to damaged infrastructure and ongoing rainfall, All Hands and Hearts has committed to a two-month initial response, assisting communities impacted by these floods. Our team on the ground is coordinating with distribution centers and is looking to expand our scope of work and impact as more of our team arrives in the coming days.

The state of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil is devastated by weeks of life-threatening flooding. So far, reports detail that the disaster has caused 136 casualties, 125 missing people and over 400,000 displaced from their homes. Heavy rains continue to fall in the northern and central regions of the state, causing water levels to rise and will likely exacerbate the damage in disaster-torn communities. 

All Hands and Hearts is responding to this disaster and is actively conducting a remote assessment in preparation for the team to provide on-the-ground relief work once search and rescue efforts conclude.

This week, Brazil’s state of Rio Grande do Sul endured torrential storms, bringing heavy rains that caused life-threatening flooding and landslides to the southern regions. The severe weather has torn down bridges, destroyed infrastructure and flooded streets, making it hard for emergency services to provide life-saving support to affected areas. Thus far, 1,500 people are stranded, 21 people are missing and ten people have died.

All Hands and Hearts will continue to monitor this disaster and the reports as they come in.
