US EditionStill reeling a year on, Brazil's Porto Alegre fears next flood
- Devastating floods struck Porto Alegre, Brazil, killing nearly 200 people and displacing half a million in late April and early May 2024.
- Three months of rain fell in ten days, and poor maintenance left the 1960s flood protection system faulty.
- During the flooding event, nineteen of the city's twenty-three water drainage pumps failed.
- A year later, only two pumps have been repaired, and the city faces a multi-million dollar lawsuit for "omissions."
- Recovery work continues, but experts warn climate change increases future flood risks for the city.
