Abstract

This work aims to carry out a survey on municipal legislation and other legal management instruments, related to the control and mitigation of urban floods and inundations in medium-sized municipalities in the state of Rio de Janeiro. In this context, 22 municipalities in the range between 100 and 500 thousand inhabitants were surveyed. Among the results obtained, it was found that only 13 municipalities had specific municipal legislation to mitigate the effects of inundations and urban floods. Approximately 59% of the analyzed municipalities had municipal legislation oriented to the local reality. There is a need to increase public policies and government incentives for the expansion of legal provisions in the municipalities analyzed.
