LOCALIZATION:

US-HURRICANE-WATER-INFRASTRUCTURE-LOCALIZE IT: Hurricane Helene severely damaged drinking water utilities in the Southeast. Western North Carolina was especially hard hit. Flooding tore through the city of Asheville’s water system, destroying so much infrastructure that officials said repairs could take weeks. The Environmental Protection Agency said that, as of Thursday, about 136,000 people in the Southeast were served by a nonoperational water provider and more than 1.8 million were living under a boil water advisory. Hurricane Helene highlights vulnerable water infrastructure in other places in the U.S. We offer potential reporting threads and questions for looking at water systems in your area.

But it does have some public health experts thinking about how to help young people have safe sex, be aware of their options and get tested for STIs regularly. We provide data resources and suggested reporting threads. See our Localize It guides here.

US--MED-ADDICTION TREATMENT-METHADONE-LOCALIZE IT: Methadone is a treatment drug for opioid use disorder, but access is limited because patients must get it from special clinics called opioid treatment programs, or OTPs.
