Winds of 66 km/h knock down trees, suspend the show at the venue and mobilize a crisis office in Rio Preto

To coordinate emergency assistance in real time, Civil Defense set up a crisis office under the command of Colonel Ivair. Mayor Coronel Fábio Candido personally accompanied the work fronts on the streets during the early hours alongside technicians, evaluating clearing priorities and routes to the most affected areas.

Teams from the General Services Secretariat and the Autonomous Municipal Water and Sewage Service (Semae) worked to immediately remove fallen trunks and branches that were blocking vehicle traffic and putting drivers at risk. The operations guaranteed the release, even before midnight, of important sections of Murchid Homsi, Bady Bassitt, Juscelino Kubitschek and Philadelpho Gouveia Netto avenues.

On the side of the Transbrasiliana Highway (BR-153), near Jardim Soraya, a point remained completely closed and isolated by the traffic authorities. The fall of vegetation involved high voltage electrical network cables, requiring road signage and technicians from the distributor CPFL Paulista waiting to turn off the current before handling the logs.

According to the report consolidated by the Fire Department, the corporation had 36 pending calls for cutting and collecting trees in residential neighborhoods. The demand was concentrated in the Airport sectors, with 17 cases, Alto Alegre, with 12 calls, and Boa Vista, with seven inspections scheduled with the support of city hall trucks, in addition to the support of the Municipal Civil Guard (GCM) and the Military Police in road signage.

Given the persistence of unstable weather, the city council advises the population not to approach fallen cables or try to prune branches that have fallen over electrical wires. Drivers should avoid parking under large trees and take extra care in areas with cleaning crews. In situations of immediate danger on properties or public roads, residents can call emergency channels by calling 193 (Firefighters), 199 (Civil Defense) or 190 (Military Police).

In Ilha Solteira (SP), in addition to the record of falls and branches on public roads, there was also the destruction of a church located in Alameda Pernambuco, in the city center. There were no injuries reported.
