People and Communities Pillar
Initiation planning for the construction of the Indemnity Policy for Unregulated Commercial Fisherman (“De Facto Fisherman"), in accordance with CIF Resolution 182.

Approval of the pilot covering the Indemnity Policy for the Unregulated Commercial Fishermen.

862 indemnity payments were made in June.

Furthermore this month, an agreement was signed with the Ombudsman and Prosecution Services, guaranteeing the final approval of the Discharge Statement. The discharge is less broad now and has become specific to the indemnified damages and not to all damages resulting from the collapse.

The pilot project that aims to offer free legal assistance by the Espirito Santo State Public Defender’s Office was implemented. The actions will be extended to the other Indemnity Centers based on the results of this pilot.

In addition, a joint statement with the CIF was published on the Renova Foundation website.
Its objective was to inform the extension of the negotiation timelines and payment of indemnities to those registered during the campaigns 1 and 2.

An agreement was signed with the Ombudsman and Prosecution Services on the Payoff details. This way, the debt payment term became specific to the indemnified damages, and no longer a broad one covering all kind of damages resulting from the collapse. The change made it possible to tend to double damages and to reach an agreement with the Prosecution Service for free legal assistance to those affected.

In May, 1,195 General Damage Records (RDG) were also paid off.

Another important action was the construction of a work plan to draft pending indemnity policies (professional fishermen without official documentation, subsistence of fishing communities, sand fishermen, tourism and trash scavengers). This plan was sent to the Technical Board of Organization and Health/CIF. In addition, the pre-existing policies were approved.

A pilot project was also implemented to reduce delays, accelerate proposals and, consequently, increase the effectiveness of the agreements. This action was carried out in three Mediated Indemnity Centers (CIM) of the "Screening" and "Eligibility and Calculations” projects.

1,495 general damage claim payments were made.

The Work Plan was also issued, elaborated by the Renova Foundation and the Technical Board of Organization and Health (CTOS/CIF). It contains the pending indemnification policies and those in development.

In addition, experts from other Renova Foundation programs, which are in synergy with the policies under review or definition, have been incorporated into the activities of the Crisis Room. The aim is to streamline the most critical cases and increase the number of agreements.

The report informing about the delay in payments of Campaign 1, due to the complexity of the process and requesting the postponement of the deadline for the completion, was filed with the CIF and Technical Board of Organization and Health. In the report, it was advised to have Campaign 1 end together with Campaign 2, on June 29, 2018. In this same report, the essential concepts for evaluating the efficiency of the Mediated Indemnity Program (PIM) were laid out in detail.

In this period, payments of 1,349 General Damage Registrations (RDG) were recorded, representing an increase of 160% when compared to February/18.

A specialized consultancy was hired to support the elimination of bottlenecks and gains in efficiency in the Mediated Indemnity Program (PIM) offices. The consultancy will also assist in meeting the deadlines agreed in the Transaction and Conduct Adjustment Term (TTAC) for the payment of campaigns 1 and 2.

The offices of Baixo Guandu and Linhares, in Espirito Santo, and Barra Longa and Rio Doce, in Minas Gerais, were assessed for a possible gain in efficiency in the indemnification process.

The Indemnity Policies (PIM General Damage) were consolidated and presented to the Technical Board of Social Organization (CTOS) for advice and deliberation.

Water Damage
Those who already entered the compensation process and who, due to incomplete documentation, did not receive a proposal, are being called to resolve the pending issues.

For indemnity proposals that were accepted, payments are being processed to those affected. To do so, the audit team verified the documents and traceability of the program information.

General Damage
The Interfederative Committee (CIF) has determined that the Renova Foundation should provide legal aid, free of charge, especially to the more vulnerable affected populations. A work plan was presented to meet these and other requirements. Clarifications regarding this resolution were given to representatives of the community of Povoacao, Linhares (ES).

Work was done in regard to the indemnification of fishermen in the region of Regencia (ES). The community of Povoacao, in Linhares, asked Renova to review the proposed values for the final indemnities of those affected due to fishing. This request is under review.

In order to increase the service quality and quantity in relation to indemnification, the Renova Foundation has increased the number of attendants and has reorganized the service office in Linhares (ES). Two itinerant offices were also set up for service along the Doce River.

To speed up the registration of those affected new to the indemnity program, a partnership was signed with Caixa Economica Federal to help opening accounts for those without a bank account.
In Barra Longa (MG), the Week of Conciliation with the Judiciary, held from November 27 to 30, resulted in some final indemnity proposals, approved by the judiciary.

In Governador Valadares, traveling office 6 (with staff from offices 3 and 5) was opened next to the downtown shopping center. The objective is to bring the service center closer to the people living in the downtown region.

Water Damage
Meetings were held in two towns, Resplendor (MG) and Naque (MG), with the mayors and councilors to align and present the PIM. In Periquito (MG), a public hearing was conducted to clarify to the population that Periquito Sede is not included in the program because it is supplied by the Tavares stream.

In September, assistance started related to Water Damage in the municipalities of Naque and Sao Vitor, in the district of Governador Valadares (MG), which were affected by the collapse and are served through the municipalities that supply them.

A task force was formed to audit the processes of people that are 18 years of age or older (without homologation) in order to ensure the payment term of up to 90 days, stipulated by the Transaction and Conduct Adjustment Term (TTAC), is met.
In order to alert the population about the registration deadline for the PIM Water, new dissemination strategies were adopted in the municipalities that have offices for Water Damage. Sound-equipped cars and touring buses provided clarifications and information on the subject to the population and provided service at the busiest places in the municipalities.

General Damage
The indemnity proposals were accepted for those affected in both states, in the areas tourism (ES), commerce (MG) and agriculture.
