According to the mayor’s office, cleaning was carried out on the beaches of Sogno and Pinheira. In addition to the employees, residents also helped to clean up the garbage from the embankment.

Much of the material collected onshore was green waste. The debris was carried into place by the force of the rain. “Our teams were divided into two parts in order to be able to work simultaneously on both beaches. We did our best to collect what was needed, but we will have to resume work,” explained Anestor Pedro Denoni, President of the Foundation.

“Now that everything is getting better, we are clearing the most critical points so that the city can return to normal. It rained much more than expected, and a reflection of this is what the water was dragging, ”the president added.

new schedule

In addition to the work morning held last Saturday (10), a new schedule will be scheduled to complete the services.

“Many people have lost most of what they had at home, others have lost everything, and we are working to return public spaces to their normal functioning. For those most affected, we are asking for help from the federal government and trying to work with the government of Santa Catarina,” said Mayor Eduardo Freccia.

The mayor also highlighted the fact that the municipality recorded 300 millimeters of rain, far more than the 50 that was expected for the entire month, causing flooding and damage.

“Fortunately, we have hardworking and very responsive people. Together we will restore what was stolen and we will continue to work so that our city prospers,” the mayor emphasized.
