The storm resulted in landslides, drownings, and electrocutions. Emergency services, including firefighters, are actively engaged in rescue operations. Mayor Eduardo Paes has declared the situation an “emergency,” advising people to stay at home to ensure their safety and to facilitate ongoing rescue and recovery efforts.
