At least 18 people, including seven children, have died since Friday after heavy rain battered São Paulo, triggering floods and landslides across the Brazilian state.
Around 500 people have also been displaced, according to a statement released by the State Civil Defense, and five people are still missing.
Authorities have deployed a working group of firefighters, military police and civil defense personnel to support the mayors of the cities that have been impacted, said São Paulo Governor João Doria on Sunday.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani used his executive powers to revoke a handful of orders put into place by his predecessor after the former mayor was federally indicted, including a directive that expanded the definition of antisemitism and another that barred city employees and agencies from boycotting or divesting from Israel.
