One of the most pressing issues in California is the battle to restore drinking water in Altadena and the Palisades. Water utilities are facing the arduous task of repressurizing underground pipelines, testing for contaminants, and flushing them out. This effort comes at a critical time as California experiences record-breaking rain, triggering floods and mudslides in burn zones, including the Pacific Coast Highway. The storied coastal road turned into a river of mud and debris, highlighting the rapid shift from severe drought conditions to destructive flooding. Additionally, a new community toolkit is being introduced to accelerate resilience hub development in Colorado and beyond, emphasizing the need for proactive climate adaptation measures.
