This Action Aims to Intensify Rescue and Assistance Operations for More Than 141 Thousand People Displaced by the Historic Floods That Struck Almost All Municipalities in the State, Highlighting the Vital Role of the Armed Forces in Public Disaster Situations.
In a crucial response to the devastating floods in Rio Grande do Sul, the Brazilian Navy mobilizes the Multipurpose Aircraft Carrier Atlântico, the largest warship in South America, to participate in Operation Taquari 2. The rescue mission with the help of the local population and many civilian volunteers, who have already assisted thousands of people affected by the natural disaster, now receives significant reinforcement.
The state of Rio Grande do Sul is facing the worst natural tragedy in its history with almost all of its 500 municipalities affected. More than 141 thousand people have been displaced, and the critical situation necessitated the declaration of a state of public calamity. In response, the Atlântico Aircraft Carrier, equipped with Naval Aviation helicopters and landing crafts, as well as a complete field hospital, arrives to strengthen rescue and assistance efforts.

The ship’s carrying capacity is essential for this operation, allowing for the transportation of vehicles, heavy equipment, and vital supplies. The medical team on board, including orthopedists, general surgeons, anesthetists, among others, is prepared to provide immediate medical care to the victims. This mobilization recalls the activities of the Brazilian Navy in early 2023 on the North Coast of São Paulo, where it played a key role in the recovery of affected areas.

At this moment, all help is needed, regardless of any delay.
