Rio Bonito was the hardest-hit city, accounting for five of the reported deaths, while another fatality occurred in the rural zone of Guarapuava. In response, the state government has declared three days of official mourning as rescue teams and emergency services continue recovery efforts.

President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva expressed his condolences to the victims’ families through his official X account and reaffirmed the federal government’s support for local authorities. Meanwhile, regional officials have urged residents to remain in safe locations and comply with emergency instructions, as humanitarian aid and clean-up operations continue. A full assessment of damages and a partial reconstruction plan are expected to be announced soon.
