The hired professionals will strengthen teams for monitoring risk areas, planning and supervising emergency interventions, and executing containment works in vulnerable regions of the state. Contracts will have an initial duration of up to six months, renewable according to State Law No. 14,547/2011.

"os profissionais contratados vão reforçar as equipes técnicas responsáveis pelo monitoramento de áreas de risco, planejamento e fiscalização de intervenções emergenciais, além da execução de obras de contenção em regiões vulneráveis do estado"

The measure comes after heavy rains in early May left six dead in the Metropolitan Region of Recife — five in landslides in Recife and Olinda, and one person swept away by currents in São Lourenço da Mata. The government declared a state of emergency in 27 municipalities and announced R$ 2,500 aid for affected low-income families.
