O Governo do Estado do Rio de Janeiro iniciou, no domingo (28), uma força-tarefa para mitigar os efeitos das altas temperaturas, com a distribuição gratuita de água potável em locais de grande circulação e na orla das praias. A ação é coordenada pela Cedae e integra um conjunto de medidas voltadas à proteção da saúde de moradores e visitantes diante da onda de calor.

De acordo com o governador Cláudio Castro, a iniciativa busca ampliar a resposta do Estado a situações climáticas extremas. Segundo ele, a oferta de água potável em pontos estratégicos tem caráter preventivo e contribui para a redução de riscos à saúde em dias de calor intenso.

Entre as medidas adotadas está a distribuição de aproximadamente 10 mil litros de água potável, com apoio da chamada “Frota da Hidratação”, composta por uma kombi, bicicletas posicionadas em postos de salva-vidas e pontos fixos de hidratação instalados pela Secretaria de Estado de Saúde, inclusive nas 27 UPAs estaduais. A operação envolve, de forma integrada, as secretarias estaduais de Defesa Civil/Corpo de Bombeiros, Saúde e Ambiente, além da Cedae.

Com a proximidade do Réveillon e a expectativa de aumento no fluxo turístico, a capital já recebe visitantes de diferentes estados e países. Frequentadores da orla e turistas relataram a importância da iniciativa, especialmente para atividades ao ar livre em períodos de calor intenso.
A médica Georgette Moritz, que caminhava pela orla de Copacabana, avaliou que a oferta de água pode contribuir para a prevenção de problemas de saúde relacionados ao calor e para a redução da demanda por atendimentos médicos. Turistas também destacaram a relevância da ação. Glauciane Dias, visitante do Amazonas, afirmou que, apesar de estar acostumada a altas temperaturas, considerou a medida necessária diante da intensidade do calor no Rio.

As UPAs estaduais também passaram a atuar como pontos de hidratação, atendendo tanto pacientes com sintomas associados ao calor quanto pessoas que buscam apenas se hidratar. Segundo relatos de funcionários, o serviço tem sido utilizado por banhistas, transeuntes e pessoas em situação de rua.
A iniciativa integra as ações preventivas do Estado para enfrentar as altas temperaturas ao longo do verão, com foco na promoção da saúde, do conforto e da segurança da população e dos visitantes.
