In the United States, climate-related emergencies are occurring across the country. Arizona has declared a state of emergency as it continues to battle one of the state’s worst wildfires. The so-called “Wallow Fire” has now destroyed more than 230,000 acres, including the majority of the Apache National Forest. Meanwhile, the swollen Missouri River is threatening to submerge the Iowa town of Hamburg. If efforts to secure a faltering levee fail, the town’s 1,100 residents could find themselves under as much as eight feet of water for a month or more. Emergency officials anticipate record-breaking floods along the Missouri River throughout the summer. Meanwhile, record-setting heat in Texas and other southern states is putting children and the elderly, in particular, at risk.
