Cittua's participation in the InovaTerê Sandbox

Cittua has proven the accuracy of its local weather forecasting model in the field, helping the city of Teresópolis protect lives and reduce losses.

Introduction

The InovaTerê Sandbox is a regulatory testing environment created by the Teresópolis City Hall to validate technological solutions in real-world situations. In March 2024, Cittua actively participated, demonstrating how its high-resolution climate forecasting technology could transform disaster response.

Challenge

The mountainous region of Rio de Janeiro is highly vulnerable to severe storms and landslides. Traditional weather models offer broad-scale forecasts, lacking the precision needed to guide specific actions in neighborhoods and communities. This limitation hinders decision-making and can compromise public safety.

Solution

Cittua applied its ultra-high-resolution forecasting model (up to 1 km), providing Teresópolis Civil Defense with localized information with spatial and temporal precision. Through continuous updates and direct communication, it was possible to anticipate storms, direct alerts to the most critical areas, and direct the population to support points. This joint effort resulted in a more agile and effective response, demonstrating the positive impact of technology in real-life risk situations.

"The tool was essential, using precise weather forecast data located at specific points, which enabled the Municipal Civil Defense to act and respond more precisely."

Life-Saving Forecast

Use of cutting-edge technology to generate climate forecasts.

Cittua was created to transform the way we address climate risks. Our platform combines data science, artificial intelligence and community collaboration to offer localized, early and actionable forecasts, exactly what vulnerable regions need in critical moments.

It all starts with the continuous collection of data from meteorological sensors, rain gauges and monitoring networks scattered throughout the mountainous region of Rio de Janeiro. This data feeds a proprietary weather forecasting model with artificial intelligence, calibrated locally to capture the particularities of the mountain’s relief and microclimate.

The result is a unprecedented level of precision, capable of predicting in advance and on a neighborhood scale the timing and intensity of severe rainfall, a vital differentiator for guiding preventive actions.

All raw and processed data is stored in a Structured DataLake, enabling historical analyses, impact studies and support for strategic decision-making. This repository becomes a living base of climate and operational knowledge for municipalities and civil defense agencies.

Forecasts are made available in a SaaS platform intuitive, where managers can access dynamic dashboards, simulations and operational recommendations.
Furthermore, the population has the Cittua’s collaborative application, that delivers geolocated alerts, enables real-time information sharing and strengthens community resilience.

Following the guidelines of UN on early warning systems, Cittua sends advance and targeted notifications for communities most at risk, increasing preparation time and response effectiveness.

More than predicting the weather, Cittua supports the development and implementation of municipal contingency plans. Our platform complements official data (INMET, CEMADEN, among others) with more operational information, allowing Civil Defense to act in a preventive, focused and collaborative manner.

Do as Teresópolis does: anticipate, alert, protect.

Working side by side with Civil Defense: hands-on workshops, simulations, and hyperlocal alerts for the city's operational contingency plan. Forecasts that save lives. Data that transforms decisions. More time to act, greater safety for your city.
