The 2008 Santa Catarina floods were floods in Santa Catarina, Brazil in November 2008. They occurred after a period of heavy rainfall, most significantly from 20-23 of November. The state had suffered constant rainfalls for over two months on the coast, which turned the soil wet enough to cause a landslide during the storm that hit the state in late November. It affected around 60 towns and over 1.5 million people in the state of Santa Catarina in Brazil. At least 128 people are confirmed to have been killed with over 78,700 being forced to evacuate their homes. A further 150,000 have been left without electricity, while water rationing is being carried out in at least one town due to purification problems. Santa Catarina state Governor Luiz Henrique da Silveira had earlier suggested that

  • The 2008 Santa Catarina floods were floods in Santa Catarina, Brazil in November 2008. They occurred after a period of heavy rainfall, most significantly from 20-23 of November. The state had suffered constant rainfalls for over two months on the coast, which turned the soil wet enough to cause a landslide during the storm that hit the state in late November.

At least 128 people are confirmed to have been killed with over 78,700 being forced to evacuate their homes. A further 150,000 have been left without electricity, while water rationing is being carried out in at least one town due to purification problems. Santa Catarina state Governor Luiz Henrique da Silveira had earlier suggested that the final death toll was likely to be over 50, a figure that has proved optimistic. Several towns in the region have become cut off due to floodwater and landslide debris and on November 23 the Mayor of Blumenau, João Paulo Kleinübing, declared a state of emergency in the city. Water levels in the Vale do Itajaí have risen to eleven metres above normal. (en)
  • As enchentes em Santa Catarina em 2008 ocorreram depois do período de grandes chuvas durante o mês de novembro de 2008, afetando em torno de sessenta cidades e mais de 1,5 milhões de pessoas no estado de Santa Catarina, Brasil. 135 pessoas morreram, duas estavam desaparecidas, 9.390 habitantes foram forçados a sair de suas casas para que não houvesse mais vítimas e 5.617 desabrigados. Um número de 150.000 habitantes ficaram sem eletricidade e ainda houve racionamento de água que estava sendo levada por caminhões em pelo menos uma cidade devido a problemas na purificação. Várias cidades na região ficaram sem acesso devido as enchentes, escombros e deslizamentos de terra. Em 25 de novembro de 2008, o prefeito de Blumenau, João Paulo Kleinübing, declarou estado de calamidade pública na cidade, assim como feito em outros treze municípios. Além disso, sessenta cidades no estado se encontram sob estado de emergência. Durante as cheias, o Porto de Itajaí teve grande parte dos berços de atracação destruídos. O nível de água no Vale do Itajaí chegou a subir 11,52 m acima do nível normal. Os terrenos que receberam chuva equivalente a mil litros de água por m², vão demorar pelo menos seis meses para se estabilizar. Enquanto isso, o solo permanecerá instável e sujeito a novos deslizamentos. As enchentes levaram a criação de um grupo técnico científico a fim de promover estudos para a prevenção contra novos desastres naturais no estado. (pt)
