We are very fortunate to be able to share that our district has officially accounted for all of our students and staff in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene. 💙
GOOD NEWS: WCS confirms for all students, staff accounted for. "I am so proud of our administrators, teachers, and staff for all the effort they put into locating and caring for our students and families," Alexander said. wataugademocrat.com/news/loc…

My family & I are safe, however cell service, wifi, power & water are non-existent or severely limited. It really is devastating here in WNC. Our community needs critical emergency cell infrastructure & supplies. We cannot receive emails, load websites, plz communicate via text.

Some have called the 1916 Western North Carolina flood "the flood to end all floods." Today, emergency management officials are warning that Helene could bring similar floods to Asheville and surrounding areas. ourstate.com/flood-of-1916/

For context re: southern Appalachian flooding Asheville, NC has already had a 1,000 year return interval rainfall event over the past day...before #Helen gets there
8.34" of rain at Asheville, NC (AVL) in the 26 hours fm 2pm Wed-4pm today. For perspective, the NOAA Atlas 14 1000 year recurrence interval for 24 hour precip is 7.25". This has been shattered, and the core of #Helene has yet to even make landfall. Catastrophic flooding on tap

Congratulations to @MagSugg, NCICS's Jennifer Runkle and @douglas_rao, and other researchers on receiving funding for important research on the effects of #climate change on the mental health of young people. A key goal is to inform improved response strategies.

Biodiversiy is declining, yet we have limited knowledge about how that affects human well-being. My work linking bats, insecticide use, and human infant health is out today in Science (science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…), and tells a complex story about how those are connected.

Replying to @EHPonline
The more temperatures rose, the more pregnant women were admitted to the hospital for psychiatric issues. For example, a 9°F rise in temperature was associated with a 7–15% increase in the number of emergency department visits by pregnant patients.

[New @AguGeohealth] Ryan et al. @appstate link low greenspace with high mental health prevalence among young people, especially substance use disorders. Interventions need to consider community structures, such as rurality.
