Claims, one by one

The text below is copied verbatim from the published record. Each claim names the source dossiers that carry it; caveats stay attached to the claim they qualify.

Claim 1 clm-537b3d65df0b6890 quantitative
São Paulo's city hall has run the CGE since November 1999, after a flood filled the Anhangabaú tunnel
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The operator's own page states the centre was 'criado em novembro de 1999' and links it to the municipal infrastructure secretariat.
Caveat
No claim-specific caveat recorded

Sources carrying this claim

  1. CGE — Quem somos (Prefeitura de São Paulo)
Claim 2 clm-d7b2a06dae057675 quantitative
It reads its own automatic weather stations and rain gauges in 32 subprefeituras alongside the state DAEE radar and Alto Tietê telemetry
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The monitoring page names the rain gauges across 32 subprefeituras and the SAISP radar at Salesópolis as the primary radar; the sources page states plainly that the radar is 'operado pela FCTH… de propriedade do DAEE' — state property — and that the telemetric network is likewise consumed rather than owned.

  3. SAISP — Rede Telemétrica do Alto Tietê (DAEE/FCTH)
Claim 3 clm-6f13f1b0cda23c4e descriptive
then declares an estado de atenção or alerta zone by zone
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The operator describes the graded states it declares by zone; the January 2026 news report records CGE-declared alert states during storms in the city.

No claim-specific caveat recorded

  1. CGE — Quem somos (Prefeitura de São Paulo)
  2. Agência Brasil — storms put the city of São Paulo on alert (Jan 2026)
Claim 4 clm-04abe549e5397037 descriptive
The public flood-point map is not sensed — municipal traffic agents on the street report each alagamento and grade it transitável or intransitável
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
The classification page states that the flood information 'são fornecidas pelos agentes de campo (trânsito) da Prefeitura' and sets out the two grades.
Caveat

  1. CGE — Classificação dos alagamentos
Claim 5 clm-bdf29667d69306da descriptive
An alert pre-positions crews and warns drivers; it opens no gate and starts no pump
Published field
snippet · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
Nothing in the operator's description of the centre gives it an actuator: it declares states and informs. The counterweight is the reported death of a driver trapped in a car during a São Paulo flood on 1 February 2025.

  2. CartaCapital — driver killed in a São Paulo flood, 2 Feb 2025

What the mapping says
The city's own classification page attributes the flood points to field traffic agents rather than to instruments.

  1. CGE — Classificação dos alagamentos
Claim 7 clm-b9401fee37d9e47e descriptive
so its coverage follows the main roads they patrol — and it records water that has already arrived rather than predicting it
Published field
lesson · verbatim
Mapping
mapped · no interpretation or interpolation added by this passport
What the mapping says
Because the points come from traffic agents on patrol, the layer is bounded by where they are; the peer-reviewed 2013 study that uses the CGE/CET flood-point data treats it as an observational record of flooding that has occurred.

Source dossiers and revision state

This layer records what is known about each source, what is still missing, and the exact snapshot this page is rendering. A missing date, archive or hash stays visible as missing.

unreviewed Revision 2026-08-27-claims-and-sources effective 2026-08-27 · created 2026-08-27

Awaiting operator and domain-expert review; publication of this revision implies neither.

Erratum on this revision's envelope. The snapshot, its hash and its permanent link are untouched.

  • createdAt previously read 2026-08-31T12:00:00Z. The batching script that produced this revision advanced createdAt into the future to satisfy the strictly-increasing order the validator requires per entity. The value never recorded a real event; the corrected value is the moment the revision provably existed in the repository. Corrected to 2026-08-27T03:13:38Z on 2026-08-27; evidence: first appears in commit 7a13833ce6, committed 2026-08-27T03:13:38Z.

The city's own statement of what it owns versus consumes: the radar is "operado pela FCTH… de propriedade do DAEE" (state), the telemetric network covers "aproximadamente 300 pontos da bacia do Alto-Tietê" (state), while the automatic weather stations are the CGE's and the conventional rain gauges are the Prefeitura's, read four times a day by Defesa Civil agents.

State system, included only to mark the boundary: SAISP's radar and ~300 telemetry points are what the municipal CGE consumes. Content confirmed via search results and via the CGE's own fontes page rather than a direct fetch.

Disambiguation source. The STATE Defesa Civil opened its own Centro de Gerenciamento de Emergências at the Palácio dos Bandeirantes on 13 Feb 2025 (R$47.1M with the Cepram radar centre); the cellphone alerts come from there, not from the municipal CGE. Two different bodies sharing an acronym — deliberately not merged into this entry.

Cited to correct a common misattribution: the SMS warning service is the state Defesa Civil's, covering all 645 municipalities by CEP. The municipal CGE issues no SMS of its own.

Counterweight. On 1 Feb 2025 an app driver died on Rua Prece, Vila Prudente, after his car stalled crossing standing water. Verified at search-snippet level across four outlets (CartaCapital, Jovem Pan, Terra, Diário do Grande ABC); direct fetch not attempted. The accompanying "18th victim" figure is a STATE Defesa Civil count for the whole state since December, not a city figure, and is therefore not used in the entry.

Peer-reviewed work that uses the CGE/CET flood-point feed and probes its gaps. Cited for context only: scielo.br returned HTTP 403 to automated fetch and the UFPR PDF mirror returned unparseable binary, so no figure from it is carried in this entry.

Known limits of this passport
  • Publisher names and source languages have not yet been classified; domains are recorded without guessing.
  • Existing source notes are descriptive locators, not page- or paragraph-exact citations.
  • A missing archive, publication date or content hash is shown as null rather than inferred.
  • The project-level evidence grade ranks the strongest source in the entry; it is not a truth score for every claim.
