What changed
On November 5, Lages Civil Defense classified the continuing overflow of the Carahá and Ponte Grande rivers as high risk as floodwater spread into residential areas of the city.
Does this affect me?
Residents and visitors in flood-prone neighborhoods of Lages, particularly Habitação and Caça e Tiro, face hazardous local conditions as river flooding affects residential areas. People traveling through low-lying streets and bridge approaches should be alert to changing access conditions.
What should I do?
Avoid flooded streets and submerged bridge approaches. Do not attempt to drive or walk through floodwater. Follow municipal Civil Defense instructions and check local road conditions before entering flood-affected neighborhoods.
