The activity will be carried out by AXIA Energia, in partnership with municipal and state civil defenses, and is part of the Emergency Action Plan (PAE), a document that defines the procedures to be adopted in the event of an emergency involving the dam. In preparation for the training, teams visited the houses in the so-called Self-Rescue Zone (ZAS), an area located just below the dam, to update family registration and guide residents on evacuation routes, meeting points and the operation of warning sirens. According to the company, during the registration update, contact information and data were collected about residents who may need special assistance in a possible emergency, such as the elderly, children and people with disabilities.
