Subprojects
The UFMG Brumadinho Project compounds various subprojects that are grouped into four thematic areas: Environment, Infrastructure, Socioeconomic, and Population Health. Currently, the project is branched into 67 subprojects that analyze different aspects and dimensions of the multiple impacts - economical, social, cultural, and environmental -, as well as the losses and damages (material and immaterial) inflicted on the populations affected by the rupture of the dam, in Brumadinho. Complementary studies and research may become subjects of calls for new subprojects.
To identify and evaluate the emergency needs of the victims, arising from losses in socio-economical, environmental, health, educational, urban structures, and cultural heritage (material and immaterial) spheres, among short, medium, and long term impacts on small-sized regions and medium-sized regions, as well as on a regional and local scale.
To present the needs for full and fair reparation of damages and losses, recovery and reconstruction in a Consolidated Assessment Report and develop a Recovery Plan.
