Vale reopens registration for R$15,000.00 donation in Brumadinho

Amount is intended for those who carried out rural or commercial activities in the Self-Rescue Zone (ZAS)

On Wednesday (20/2), Vale reopens registration for R$15,000.00 donation to those who carried out rural or commercial activities in the Self-Rescue Zone (ZAS) of the Emergency Action Plan for Mining Dams (PAEBM) in Brumadinho, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Registration for the R$50,000.00 donation to those who lived in Self-Rescue Zone remains open. So far, 197 people have registered for this donation.

The registration had been on hold, awaiting review by Vale and the Public Defender's Office of the State of Minas Gerais. It will now be held at the Brumadinho Knowledge Center, on weekdays, from 9:00 to 18:00. Mini-vans will be available to take the applicants to the site.

It is important to highlight that this financial aid is separate from any indemnities, which will be agreed between the interested parties together with the authorities. Donations can be cumulative if the person fits in more than one of the established categories: residence, rural productive activity or commercial activity.
