Experts say many sugarcane farmers – who form the core of the local farming industry – are unable to afford the pesticides required to contain the worm once it’s been detected, which could increase its chances of spreading further.The armyworms, which arrived in west Africa from the Americas early in 2016, spread south through Zambia and Zimbabwe before arriving in Africa’s biggest producer of maize. The alien pest, confirmed in SA in February, has already spread to all nine provinces, including eastern KwaZulu-Natal, where the bulk of cane is grown. |

In 2015, there was a tragedy in which 15 people died due to landsliding in a poor neighborhood in Salvador. Since then, the city government has intensified efforts to reduce the impact of weather events and involve the local community. However, there are still many challenges due to lack of human resources and material, lack of support from some local leaderships due to political orientations that are contrary to the current government, and difficulty of access to some areas due to their precariousness. In the near future, heavy rains will continue to impact informal urban dwellers, due to the rapid urban expansion and the peculiar topography of Salvador. |

However a more in-depth analysis should still be done to understand the direct impact of heat waves due to climate change in Salvador. |

These factors cause the rainy season to bring diverse problems, such as: floods, tree and power outages, impaired water supplies, congestion, pollution of water sources. Following this, there is a proliferation of endemic diseases (Dengue and others) and increased demand for medical services. |

This conjunction of factors greatly contributes to the worsening of the quality of life of its inhabitants. The poor quality of the air generates, especially at that time, numerous respiratory diseases in the population, substantially increasing the demand for medical services. The drought still compromises water supply and sanitation services, as well as causing the fires. |

In this city of more than 1 million inhabitants this scenario promotes the formation of heat islands, generating even more pollution, leading to the proliferation of diseases and consequent increase in the demand for health services. |
