Brazil – The government of the state of Roraima in northern Brazil has declared an emergency situation due to ongoing heavy rainfall and rising rivers. Long-term heavy rainfall in Roraima, particularly in northern areas, along with high levels of rivers in the Amazon basin upstream, have caused rivers to rise above flood stage in the state. As of 11 June, 2021, the Branco river (Rio Branco) at Boa Vista stood at 8.53 metres, with flood stage at 8.5 metres. Likewise the Branco is also above flood stage at Caracaraí, standing at 9.46 metres as of 11 June. Flood stage here is 9 metres.
