    Understanding the Self-Rescue Zone and Secondary Safety Zone:  

    The entire region where there is not enough time for intervention by competent authorities in an emergency. Therefore, the distance corresponding to a flood wave arrival time of 30 minutes or 10 km is adopted. 
    The region beyond 10 km or 30 minutes where there is enough time for people to proceed with their own rescue and withdraw towards meeting points where assistance occurs. As a result, if dams are classified at emergency levels 2 and 3, the self-rescue zone is evacuated and the secondary safety zone is notified. 

    Aims to contribute to maintaining the readiness of internal teams by allowing greater familiarity of those involved with the elements and responsibilities inherent to the 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.

    Sirens undergo periodic tests, including silent ones. In monthly tests, the sound emitted by the sirens is instrumental music. This allows residents to differentiate between a test and a real emergency.

    * Changes to siren sounds in Minas Gerais. Dam Emergency sirens are being updated in accordance with GMG Resolution 83/2024, which establishes the standardization of siren ringtones and messages throughout the state of Minas Gerais.
    Evaluation by an external multidisciplinary team of all elements forming the PAEBM to verify its operability. The external team is responsible for preparing the Compliance and Operationality Report of the PAEBM and issuing the Compliance and Operationality Declaration of the PAEBM.

    On February 22, at 6pm, Vale held a Public Meeting to present information about the Monjolo, ED Monjolo, Porteirinha and Principal dams, located at the Água Limpa and Capanema mines in the municipality of Santa Bárbara, in compliance with Municipal Law 1,900/2019.

    PAEBM Commitment​

    Understand our commitment to local communities.​

    Please allow us to reintroduce ourselves. We are Vale and you no doubt have something to tell us. We would like to hear any questions, criticisms or ideas for building together a culture of accident prevention in your community.​
    We are neighbors and you can rest assured that whatever impacts you, impacts us too. In our history, as well as in yours, a lot has already happened. Since we were born, in 1942, we have seen so much progress, so many jobs, and so many people who have grown together.​
    We have also experienced problems and tragedies that made us review our trajectory. But please believe us when we say that we have learned from these mistakes. And we have assumed our technical, legal and social responsibilities. After all, our ambition is to be one of the safest mining companies in the world.​
    We have dedicated our research to a future of dry mining, with ever fewer dams needed. This transformation will take time but it has already begun.​
    We now want to reduce risks and strengthen accident prevention in the communities around us.​
    Now that we’re talking about people, we want to hear from you.​
    What’s your story? What do you expect from us and from our coexistence? As neighbors, we want to be close not only physically, but also in line with our purpose of growing in harmony and care.​
