RECOMMENDATIONS
To mitigate the effects of the intense rainfall and the rising of the Uruguay River, it is important that we assume the commitment to take care of our space:
Do not throw waste into drains, reservoirs, streams, sewers, or gutters.
Do not take out household waste outside of scheduled hours.
Avoid doing so on days with rain forecasts.
Keep household grates, gutters, and drains clean.
Do not travel through the sectors affected by the rising water.
Respect the signage and instructions of the personnel working in the area.
Together, we build a more prepared city.
