Research Reveals Lasting Health Risks for Medically Vulnerable Older Adults After Hurricane Flooding

Research Reveals Lasting Health Risks for Medically Vulnerable Older Adults After Hurricane Flooding

New research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill indicates that medically vulnerable older adults face persistent health risks long after hurricane flooding subsides. The study, published in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, examined hospitalization and death rates among North Carolina Medicare beneficiaries aged 65 and older who rely on electricity-dependent medical equipment, such as ventilators and oxygen machines. Researchers, including first author Bradford Jackson, PhD, and senior author Jennifer Lund, PhD, analyzed health outcomes before and after Hurricanes Matthew (2016) and Florence (2018). They found that while broad county-level disaster declarations did not immediately show significant increases in adverse health outcomes, more detailed data on the percentage of residential buildings flooded within a county revealed a clearer pattern.

Bear-Human Conflicts Surge Across U.S. Due to Drought and Food Scarcity

Bear-Human Conflicts Surge Across U.S. Due to Drought and Food Scarcity

Bear-human conflicts have dramatically increased across much of the United States this year, driven by a warm winter and persistent drought that have decimated natural food sources for black and brown bears. This scarcity has forced bears to seek sustenance in human-populated areas, leading to a surge in incidents involving garbage raids, home and car break-ins, and damage to property like chicken coops and bird feeders. Wildlife officers in numerous states, including Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah, are reporting record numbers of calls and are working extended hours to manage these encounters. For instance, Colorado has euthanized 294 bears by the end of August, a significant increase from the typical 60 to 90 bears in a full year. States are focusing on educating residents about securing attractants and, in some cases, implementing stricter penalties for those who inadvertently feed bears.
