At least eight people have died and some 4,500 others have been forced from their homes due to the heavy rains in the southern Brazilian state of Santa Catarina, officials said Sunday.
Santa Catarina Gov. Luiz Henrique da Silveira has declared a state of emergency to speed the distribution of aid to victims, with the forecast calling for more rain on Sunday.
A total of 4,488 people have been forced to abandon their homes due to flooding, building collapses and structural damage caused by the torrential rains, officials said.
Some 2,277 people were taken in by relatives, while the rest are being housed in shelters opened by state officials.
Mudslides killed eight people in the towns of Blumenau, Garuva, Gaspar and Brusque.
The Santa Catarina government said the emergency declaration covered 30 of the 293 municipalities in the state, which is considered one of the most prosperous in southern Brazil.
