Around 200,000 people in the Alagoas state's capital of Maceio were affected by the excessive extraction of rock salt, according to the Brazil Senate's website.

Introduced in 2013, the policy mandates that all central government departments must take a public cloud-first stance when procuring new or existing services, meaning they must evaluate off-premise technologies before considering any other option.
