Nas primeiras horas de maio, chuvas sem precedente transformaram ruas em rios no estado da Paraíba, ceifando duas vidas e arrancando famílias de seus lares. Diante da magnitude do desastre, o governo estadual declarou calamidade pública — não como gesto simbólico, mas como mecanismo formal para mobilizar recursos e acelerar a resposta. É o momento em que o Estado reconhece que a natureza ultrapassou os limites do ordinário, e que a solidariedade institucional precisa preencher o vazio deixado pela água.

Households face property damage, displacement, loss of livelihoods, and increased insurance costs. Short-term reduced consumer spending due to emergency conditions; long-term recovery expenses strain household budgets.
