Do you know Auxílio Pernambuco? This is financial assistance for families severely impacted by the floods that devastated the region. 

This emergency initiative aims to offer support of R$ 1,500 to each family in extreme poverty affected by the natural disaster.

This action, led by Governor Paulo Câmara of the PSB, marks a significant effort by the state government to respond to the urgent needs of its population.

With a budget of R$ 123 million from the State Treasury, the program seeks to provide immediate relief to those facing the devastating consequences of rains and floods, emphasizing the State's responsibility to ensure the well-being of its citizens in times of crisis.

Financial resources are being allocated to benefit 82,000 families located in cities that are in a state of emergency. 

Additionally, the Chamber announced the creation of a lifetime pension, equivalent to a minimum wage, for the families of individuals who lost their lives due to intense rains. 

In the context of these efforts, the state government sent two bills related to this situation to the Legislative Assembly of Pernambuco (Alepe).

Who is entitled to Pernambuco Aid?

The Auxílio Pernambuco program comes as a helping hand for families impacted by the rains. 

The initiative aims to allocate R$ 1,500 to each family, in a single installment. 

This is a significant effort by the Government of Pernambuco, which allocates more than R$ 150 million to support municipalities in emergency situations.

But who is entitled to this assistance? The rules are clear. Firstly, the family must be registered with the Single Registration (CadÚnico) of the Federal Government. 

In addition, a document, provided by the local city hall, is required, certifying that the residence suffered material damage due to the rain. 

Finally, the family must live in one of the municipalities that have declared an emergency situation and that are included in the Auxílio Pernambuco program. 

This initiative is a breath of hope for many who are facing difficult times due to the damage caused by the rains. 

With Auxílio Pernambuco, the State Government demonstrates its commitment to helping those most in need at this time of recovery.

To obtain Pernambuco Aid, it is not necessary to go to banks or other institutions to register. 

The distribution of resources is carried out by the municipalities themselves, which use the records and information collected by local teams, especially focused on assisting victims of the recent rains.

For more information, interested parties can contact the Social Ombudsman directly, which provides Monday to Friday, of 9am to 4pm, via the toll-free telephone number 0800.081.4421

Another option is to seek more detailed guidance from Social Assistance Reference Centers (CRAS) or Specialized Social Assistance Reference Centers (CREAS), as well as from Municipal Social Assistance Secretariats.

Conclusion

Recently, the mayor of Recife, João Campos, made an important request to the federal government. 

He is seeking the release of a significant amount of funding, around R$ 300 million, which will go towards improving the city's infrastructure. 

This amount will be applied to the urbanization of areas considered at risk, in addition to the construction of essential structures such as slope containment and retaining walls, which are crucial for the safety of residents.

Additionally, the municipal administration demanded the immediate transfer of R$ 74 million.
