In Blumenau, Brazil, the city's Civil Defense has implemented a contingency plan for floods, which includes automated updates on the Itajaí-Açu river level. The plan, developed by Dati, defines actions for different river level ranges and was previously hindered by the need for manual updates. On September 11, 2026, the system began sending automatic updates to leaders on WhatsApp every hour, with the river level projected to reach 9 meters by 2am.

The system was developed using Amazon Quick and AWS, and includes an agent that responds to employee queries and a MCP server that consumes the public feed from the municipal Civil Defense.
