Overview
In emergency situations, local authorities must be the first to be notified, as they are the ones who have the legal competence to take the necessary measures in accordance with the laws of the country where the Brazilian citizen is located. If the emergency occurs outside office hours, it is important to contact the consular office, using the telephone number provided by the Brazilian consulate in your region. The following are considered emergency cases: deaths, serious hospitalizations, violence and ill-treatment, arrests, disappearances, natural disasters, armed conflicts and any other serious situations involving risk to life, safety or human dignity. In these cases, rapid communication with local authorities and the consulate is essential to ensure adequate support.
