Simulado de segurança de barragens da estrutura 7 - Mina de Viga
As Defesas Civis de Jeceaba, Congonhas e São Brás do Suaçuí, com o apoio da Vale, realizarão no dia 27 de fevereiro, às 14h, o simulado de segurança da barragem 7, da mina de Viga
O objetivo da atividade é orientar os moradores da ZAS (Zona de Autossalvamento) desta barragem sobre como proceder em caso de emergência com barragem de mineração.
A atividade é preventiva e faz parte da implementação do Plano de Ação de Emergência para Barragens de Mineração (PAEBM). Na ocasião, serão acionadas as sirenes do sistema de emergência, que poderão ser ouvidas em alguns bairros/comunidades dos 3 municípios, além de áreas internas da Vale. Ao ouvirem o toque das sirenes, os moradores deverão paralisar suas atividades e se deslocar até o ponto de encontro mais próximo, seguindo as rotas de fuga.
Regiões e bairros que participam do simulado:
Jeceaba: Centro, Comunidade Casinhas, Sumidouro, Vila Reis, Cavalhada, Volta Fria, Sobe e Desce, Caetano Lopes, Charinha, Vila Minério, Bananal e Farinheiros de Baixo;

São Brás do Suaçuí: Comunidade Rio Abaixo
No momento do exercício, haverá bloqueio em algumas vias da região para garantir a segurança dos participantes.
Reforçamos que não houve alteração no nível de segurança da barragem, que segue monitorada pelo Centro de Monitoramento Geotécnico Vale (CMG), além de passar por inspeções de campo regularmente.

Understanding the Self-Rescue Zone and Secondary Safety Zone:
Additional information
The floodplain comprises the path of the tailings and/or sediments in the areas potentially affected by a dam failure. It is obtained through technical studies. With this information, it is possible to define safe routes and meeting points outside the risk area;
Periodically, the community in the SAZ is instructed and trained on how to act in the event of an emergency;
The main means of warning defined in the PAEBM /PAE are sirens, which have been planned and installed with a view to providing acoustic coverage of the entire SBA.
The sirens undergo periodic tests, including silencing. During the monthly tests, the sound emitted by the sirens is instrumental music. This way, residents can tell when it's a test or a real emergency situation.
Understanding the Emergency Action Plan for Mining Dams (PAEBM)
For better comprehension, the PAEBM / Emergency Action Plan was structured into specific sections as:
Section I – characterization of the PAEBM and all technical elements aiming to meet requirements of the supervisory entities identified by the National Dam Safety Policy
Section II – civil defence protection and defence actions in compliance with the requirements of civil defence agencies
Section III – actions for the protection and mitigation of environmental impacts such as wildlife rescue and water supply diagnosis in compliance with environmental agency requirements
Section IV – actions for the preservation and safeguarding of cultural heritage
Section V – actions necessary for the preservation and safeguarding of production animals (applicable only to dams in the state of Minas Gerais)
Main Engagement Actions Conducted to Ensure Operability of Emergency Action Plan for Mining Dams (PAEBM):
Their aim is to help maintain the readiness of the internal teams, since they allow those involved to become more familiar with the elements and duties inherent in the PAEBM.
With the participation of representatives of the municipality, civil defense agencies and the population present in the ZA, it aims to disseminate safety procedures and discuss procedures to enable an increasingly effective PAEBM. At this meeting, the flood map will be displayed, all those interested in the plan will be discussed and any questions will be answered.
