Of the 146 municipalities with emergency decrees, 140 have already received federal recognition, a necessary step so that city halls can request resources from the Union for actions to assist the population and recover affected areas. Some of the cities in an emergency situation were hit by heavy rains in May, such as João Pessoa and Santa Rita, which were among the municipalities most affected by rainfall in the state.

With this, city halls can ask the federal government for financial support for civil defense actions. In practice, the decree allows the request of resources for measures such as: purchase of basic food baskets purchase of mineral water provision of meals for workers and volunteers home cleaning kits personal hygiene and dormitory items Requests must be made to the National Civil Defense through the Integrated Disaster Information System (S2iD).
