Adaptation3.0Please describe the main actions you are taking to reduce the risk to, and vulnerability of, your city’s infrastructure, services, citizens, and businesses from climate change as identified in the Climate Hazards section.8Action description and implementation progress1Rain events of different intensity (rain storm, tropical, extratropical storm) usually lead to similar effects in the City, with respective variations in its intensity. These effects are mainly floods and landslides, each one having specific actions designed to mitigate and adapt. These actions are described in this same question, under the "landslide" and the "river flood" and "flash / surface flood" hazards. Rio Operations Center (COR) is responsible for crisis management during rain storms, together with the Municipal Civil Defense and Alerta Rio, meteorology office from the City Hall. AlertaRio provides weather forecast and storm alarms and has a dedicated meteorological radar, which improves the ability of short term forecasting rain storms (nowcast) in the City. The Civil Defense has created an impact scale for weather events in the city, aiming to monitor the consequence of these events and using this information as part of an annual report for the summer storms. Costs refer only to 2019.

To face this risk the Rio de Janeiro City Government has several actions in place, mainly since the creation of GEORIO, the Foundation for Geotechnic, in 1966. Nowadays the City Government has a bigger program to adapt Rio to preexisting hazard that may be worsened due to climate change. This program includes actions like landslide risk mapping, real time risk monitoring, public preparedness with exercises/drills, community engagement, restrict development at risk areas, resetting vulnerable population. These actions are carried on by City institutions, like GEORIO and its Meteorology Office Alerta Rio, Rio Operations Center, Municipal Civil Defense and the Urbanism, Infrastructure and Housing Secretariat. We can highlight the “Alert and Alarm Community System”, which comprises a series of sirens, strategically distributed around the City most risky areas, that are activated when the rain reaches specified thresholds for each region. There are also designated support points near the communities, that are set to receive the population that has to leave their houses if the sirens are activated. For each region covered by this system the Municipal Civil Defense develops drills with the local community, as also has a school training program called “Civil Defense in Schools”, which gives Civil Defense training for students of the municipal education network. The installation of a meteorological radar by AlertaRio, which improves the ability of forecasting rain storms in the City and the public works for slope containment and risk mitigation are other points to highlight. Costs are already included in the routine operations of the secretariat involved for 2019.
