On Sept. 22, 2022, from 3:00-4:00 p.m. ET, SciLine will host a briefing for reporters on the long-term toll of hurricanes on community services and infrastructure. Three experts will discuss the lasting effects of disruptions to municipal services such as water, waste removal, and electricity, as well as sustained impacts on housing and schools in the months and years after a storm.
