The human occupation of areas along rivers is a fact that can be observed in several cities of
the world. However, throughout human history, the same river that brings amenities to human
socieyt, can also bring destruction in periods of floods. The city of Rio Branco, the capital of
the state of Acre, developed on the banks of the Acre River, taking advantage of the its
connection to the world, This disorganized urban expansion, however, occupied areas
unsuitable for settlements. The flooding of the Acre River in 2015 was the worst in forty
years in terms of socioeconomic impacts, reaching 60 neighborhoods and approximately 10
thousand families. Four districts stood out for being the most affected, having large areas
covered by the waters, as well as a large number of people directly affected. This study
quantifies with greater precision the areas affected by the flood, in particular, the Permanent
Preservation Areas (APPs), as well as the number of people affected by this event. With the
results obtained by this study it was possible to create a methodology for real-time monitoring
of the impacts of a flood during its occutence and it is presented in chapter II of this work. In
order to do this, the knowledge of local characteristics, specifically with regard to the number
of people residing in the region, type and use of buildings and area of flood extent are
essential factors for the correct dimensioning of response actions, product presented in
Chapter I of this research. In the four target neighborhoods of this research, approximately
30,000 people were directly affected, 100% of the APPs were covered by floodwaters. We
verified that the municipality needs to control the occupancy of flood risk areas and APPs, as
well as, the registry of existing buildings in these areas. Thus, we believe that the results
achieved with this study can contribute to the strengthening of risk management and
management of the APPs of the city of Rio Branco, as well as in cities that have similar
situations. |
