At least 21 people, including seven children, have died since Friday after heavy rain battered São Paulo, triggering floods and landslides across the Brazilian state.
More than 600 people have also been displaced.
The authorities have deployed a working group of firefighters, military police and civil defense personnel to support the mayors of the cities that have been impacted.
Images showed parts of major roads submerged, while others showed rescue workers digging through debris in search of survivors and valuable belongings after a landslide destroyed homes.
