Are You Affected by Storm Events?Friday, December 12, 2014 - by Water2Drink![]() This week, the U.S. Pacific coast has been dealing with
severe storms in California, Oregon and Washington, while the East Coast has been
hammered by winter storm #Damon. While you may have been unaffected by these particular
storms, across the globe we see evidence of climate change that may directly impact
you in the future.
According to the article “Thirsty
for Answers: Preparing for the Water-related Impacts of Climate Change in
American Cities” on the Natural Resources Defense Council website, cities
across our country “face significant vulnerabilities due to climate change,
ranging from water shortages to more intense storms and floods to sea level
rise.” The NRDC believes that action at
the local level is going to be the most effective way to reduce or prevent
these effects. The NRDC compiled
research on 12 U.S. cities, and has prepared a sideshow to offer a glimpse of
some of the threats. Nearly all of the
cities show “water supply challenges” likely to occur as a result of
#climatechange.
You can help mitigate storm-related water contamination
issues by using a high quality point-of-use water filtration system in your
home and office. Water2Drink.com sells only Multipure’s Drinking Water Systems
