INPE - National Institute for Space Research

We are following with great regret and concern the situation faced by the people of Rio Grande do Sul due to the continuous heavy rainfall that has hit almost the entire state since the end of April. At this challenging moment, we would like to express our solidarity and support to the people of Rio Grande do Sul who are currently dealing with the impact of these recent disasters.

The National Institute for Space Research (INPE) has been collaborating with local and national authorities in carrying out its institutional tasks, providing accurate meteorological information and satellite imagery that helps monitor and prevent natural disasters, as well as plan response actions and protect lives and national resources.

The scale and scope of damage caused by extreme weather events are incalculable, as are the destructive consequences they bring to local communities. We must work together to provide assistance and support to the affected people, reduce losses, and promote the recovery and reconstruction of the disaster area.

In this context, INPE has joined various activities aimed at helping the people of Rio Grande do Sul. We have launched a collection of blankets that will be transported to the people living in the state who will face the vulnerable situation of the upcoming Gojo winter. Participate through donations!
