Natália went to her hometown to have the baby close to her family. Because of the storms, they managed to leave the family’s rural property and found a safe place, but they remained incommunicado for a long time, which led the authorities to worry about the model.
The city of Roca Sales, in Vale do Taquari, in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul, is one of those that was punished by the heavy rains that hit the state in the last week. On Friday night, the 3rd, Mayor Amilton Fontana (MDB) said that “around 15 people were trapped” in the municipality.
“Once again, the Municipality was severely impacted by the flood of the Taquari River, which destroyed houses, businesses and access roads. It will be necessary to start over again. But the priority is the search for missing people in rural areas. To this end, we reinforce the importance of support air,” he said.
State Government declares public calamity
The cities of Rio Grande do Sul face the effects of the strong storm. The governor of Rio Grande do Sul, Eduardo Leite (PSDB), declared a state of public calamity. The measure was published on the night of Wednesday, the 1st, in an extraordinary edition of the Official Gazette.
