June through November is Hurricane Season and with a busier than normal hurricane season expected, it’s important to make sure you are prepared to weather the storm. Hurricanes can have devastating impacts on our communities caused by severe winds, storm surges, flooding and tornados.

Access to water is a basic Human Right and, most of us take it for granted, however, for indigenous communities in northern Mexico that is not the case. Providing drinking water to these communities in the mountain region of Chihuahua has been a dire challenge for many decades. The extreme temperatures – reaching up to 40°C (104°F) in summer – and the desert conditions of the area cause severe droughts across that state every year. These conditions are exacerbated by the lack of infrastructure to supply water to smaller communities affected by shortages.
