São Sebastião Disaster: Technology and Mobilization for Reconstruction

The panel discusses the lessons learned, challenges, and paths forward following the tragedy caused by heavy rains in São Sebastião in 2023, which resulted in severe human, social, environmental, and economic losses on the North Coast of São Paulo. From the perspective of public administrators, environmental experts, and representatives of the private sector, the debate addresses how to combine technology, territorial planning, and public engagement to strengthen coastal resilience in the face of extreme weather events.
