Communication networks: disaster in Paracatu de Baixo
description This paper observes the flow of information established on the communication on the event of Samarco’s mining company toxic waste dam rupture to the residents’ network in Paracatu de Baixo, second site to be hit by the muddy flood. The accident occurred in November 5th 2015 in the region next to the city Mariana, in the state of Minas Gerais (MG), Brazil. The study involved two trips to Paracatu de Baixo, a Monsenhor Horta’s subdistrict. The research was made with the application of questionnaires, of personal interviews with 10 local families, and talks with other 40 people involved on the historical context. Altogether, the networks counted with the participation of 186 actors. The results pointed out that the population was not prepared to the risks and that the main information issuers were spontaneous community leaderships (the majority being teachers of the school in the subdistrict). At the location, word of mouth communication was more efficient than that made via Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) because people were close to one another during the disaster and also because of the community’s low access to technology.

Este trabajo observa el flujo de información establecido en la comunicación de la ruptura de la presa de resíduos tóxicos de la minera Samarco a la red de residentes del distrito de Paracatu de Baixo, segundo sitio afectado por la inundación fangosa. El accidente ocurrió el 5 de noviembre de 2015 en la región cercana a la ciudad de Mariana, en el estado de Minas Gerais (MG), Brasil. El estudio incluyó dos viajes a Paracatu de Baixo, un subdistrito de Monsenhor Horta. La búsqueda fue hecha a partir de la aplicación de cuestionarios, entrevistas personales con 10 familias locales y conversaciones con otras40 personas involucradas en el contexto histórico. En total, las redes tuvieron la participación de 186 actores. Los resultados señalaron que la población no estaba preparada para los riesgos y que los principales emisores de información fueron liderazgos comunitarios espontáneos (la mayoría son maestros de la escuela del subdistrito). Allá, la comunicación de boca en boca fue más eficiente que a través de las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación (TIC) porque las personas estaban cerca una de la otra durante el desastre y también debido al bajo acceso de la comunidad a la tecnología. Este trabalho observa os fluxos de informação estabelecidos na comunicação do rompimento da barragem de resíduos tóxicos da mineradora Samarco à rede de moradores do distrito de Paracatu de Baixo, segunda localidade a ser atingida pela enxurrada de lama.
