Brazil’s impending rainy season raises concerns due to the effects of the previous year, affecting nearly six million Brazilians and causing economic losses of R$50.5 billion due to storms and drought. In 2022, spending on natural disasters in the country exceeded R$72 billion, according to data from the National Union of Municipalities. A study from the University of Leeds in the United Kingdom, published in the journal Nature, highlighted the relationship between rainfall and deforestation, and showed that less rainfall in tropical forests is associated with greater loss of forest cover. This phenomenon interferes with the evapotranspiration process, leading to decreased transpiration from trees and, consequently, decreased rainfall in the area affected by deforestation.
The relationship between deforestation and rainfall makes it possible to predict climate events and plan mitigation actions using technology and data intelligence. The innovative project allows information to be exchanged electronically in real time, improving processes, reducing bureaucracy and ensuring more efficient public services. Civil Defense can use this system to map and monitor danger areas, alert residents in advance and prepare quick and accurate emergency plans for adverse events, such as wall collapses, landslides, floods, building collapses, storms, floods, and landslides. risks, including through the application.
“The use of data is a very powerful ally in the fight against climate change, which is why our solutions help customers adapt to new scenarios and anticipate trends based on the information,” explains Vinicius Santos, Business Director at the Codex Alimentarius Commission.
