Good to know

• • No national Brazilian guidance on how many days to prepare for was found. The water figure and kit list come from the Paraná state Civil Defence; other states and cities publish their own lists.
• • Brazil's guidance is for natural hazards (heavy rain, floods, landslides, dam failures); no war-specific household guidance was found.
• • Register for SMS alerts by texting your CEP (postcode) to 40199 – useful where cell broadcast does not reach.
