The registration process regarding the donation, for humanitarian purposes, for those affected by the breach of Dam I, in Brumadinho (MG) began on Monday (11/2), at 9 am. Residents of the Self-Rescue Zone (ZAS) of the Emergency Plan for Dams and Mining (PAEBM) are entitled to an amount of R$ 50,000.

Those who produced or had commercial activities in the area will receive R$ 15,000. In an agreement signed this morning with the Public Defender of the State of Minas Gerais, the donations of R$ 15,000 are temporarily suspended until the company and the competent public bodies review the necessary documentation of this specific process, a matter to be dealt with in a scheduled audience this Thursday (14/2).

Registration will be held at the Knowledge Center, from Monday to Friday, from 9am to 6pm. To aid access, mini-vans will be available to take applicants to the venue.
