DESCRIPTION OF SITUATION

1. INTRODUCTION
Pernambuco is one of 27 units of Brazil. It is located in east-central region Northeast. It occupies an area of 98,311 km . Also part of its territory the archipelago of Fernando de Noronha. Its capital is the city of Recife.

The population of Pernambuco is 8,810,256 inhabitants, according to IBGE, the official statistics in Brazil. The population density is 80.65 inhabitants per km . The state of Pernambuco has 185 municipalities.

The state is inserted in the intertropical zone, just shows predominantly high temperatures, but the climate is quite diverse due to the interference of relief and air masses.

In the Zona da Mata (middle region of Pernambuco), the weather is predominantly pseudotropicalis, with heavy rain in autumn and winter. Already in the arid zone climatic conditions are diverse because of the region of ecotone, with wetter areas and more droughts, dominated the semi-arid climate. In the backwoods, the climate is semi-arid and hot, due to the retention of rainfall on the plateau Borborema and dry air currents from southern Africa, among other factors less important.

Under the influence of moist air masses to share in the winter, the meso Zona da Mata and the Wild have concentrated rainfall during the colder season.

2. SITUATION
On June 18, the rains that fell on the Zona da Mata of Pernambuco and Alagoas broke dams in rivers. In Pernambuco, 59 cities were destroyed. In Alagoas, 28 cities were devastated by floods.

That Friday, one of two dams in the Sierra Grande accumulated water for hours. Until it broke down and gave way. The river came down with force, carrying huge trees, sticks, foliage. All this was under a bridge a few yards away. That is, the water was dammed again and returned to homes that had already been reached. Hours later, the bridge also broke down and gave way, releasing even more the river waters.

After Sao Jose da Laje, the waters of Lefty joined the river Munda, who razed cities and Unio dos Palmares, 77 miles of Miami, and Branquinha to 67 km away from the capital.

With water from other rivers as well as trees and other objects, the river Munda followed his path of destruction. The last stop was the city of Rio Largo, glued to the capital Macei, just 29 km. There, the waters destroyed the side of a dam, displacing entire train line and knocking down a bridge. "The water came too hard and ripped the side wall. We never had anything like this," said retired Claudionor Gomes.

In both states, killed 57 people - 37 in Alagoas and 20 in Pernambuco.

According to the National Civil Defense, there Alagoans 26.618

homeless and 47. 897

displaced, while there are 26,966 homeless and 55.643 million homeless in Pernambuco. Already exist in all 58 municipalities in the state of public calamity or emergency in the region.
