How cities must plan for resilient power

If the frequency of extreme weather events represents the tipping point for wider public acceptance of the reality of climate change, then Superstorm Sandy, which decimated much of the Northeast in 2012, is a leading marker of that acceptance, at least in the U.S. In New Jersey alone, more than 2 million households lost power during Sandy, many for extended periods of time; and a 2013 report by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration concluded, “Climate-change related increases in sea level have nearly doubled today’s annual probability of a Sandy-level flood recurrence as compared to 1950.”

ONE TRAGEDY FOR ANOTHER11.13.14
Liberia’s Ebola Famine
Hunger was already an issue before Ebola struck West Africa. Now, several reports predict the coming months could be devastating.
With the World Health Organization’s report of decreases in Liberia’s Ebola cases has come a deep sigh of relief from the international community. Increased awareness among West Africans combined with millions of dollars of relief aid appear to be slowing down Ebola, with the number of total cases hovering around 14,000.

But as one deadly malady loses steam, another may be exploding: hunger.

Much like the Ebola epidemic itself, a shortage of food is a problem that’s been getting worse for months in the countries hardest hit by Ebola. There are 1.7 million people experiencing food insecurity (defined by WHO as lack of “sufficient, safe, nutritious food [required] to maintain a healthy and active life”) in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea—and 200,000 of those cases are directly related to Ebola, according to the World Food Program (PDF). By March, there could be as many as 1.4 million people hungry due to Ebola—the majority of them in Liberia, the region’s worst-hit country.

For Ebola, don't forget lessons from the AIDS epidemic

A disease caused by a poorly understood virus began making headlines. For the victims, death was cruel and almost always certain. The initial devastation was largely confined to a community at the margins of mainstream American society – and many of our elected officials saw no reason to commit the research funding necessary to understand the disease.
