The state's governor has authorized emergency aid for affected areas.

Brazil has been experiencing torrential rains and heavy flooding since December.

It's a race against time.

The search for remaining survivors before it's too late.

They think that there are people over there may god help them.

If they are alive yesterday someone was calling for help today.

He is not calling anymore.

They are trying to get the body out of there, dead or alive.

Some flood victims are still being pulled out of the mud but the hope to find anymore is quickly fading.

Yeah, A desperate wait for those whose loved ones are missing.

I'm looking for my nephew, his wife and a two year old child.

They said the bodies are still there under the mud but until now they couldn't recover them deadly landslides are a frequent occurrence in brazil during the rainy season here in franco da rocha.

They are especially dangerous for hillside houses.

There are often the homes of the poor firefighters say they will continue operations until all the missing persons on the list are accounted for both the living and the dead.
