Data analysis from Dye & Durham has identified that more than 7.65 million properties in Great Britain could be exposed to medium or high risk of soil subsidence by the 2080s – an increase of over 1.89 million individual property addresses – as a result of climate change . With the Met Office projecting hotter, drier summers in the future, heatwaves increase the likelihood of soil shrinkage, which can create downward movement in buildings located on vulnerable soils. This is worse in clay soils that are found across the south east of England, and has the potential to move foundations, cracking walls and ceilings, resulting in expensive insurance claims and repair bills – on average £8,071. The average value of subsidence claims paid was £8,071 in 2020, according to the Association of British Insurers (ABI). The data, taken from Dye & Durham’s market leading Climate Report, suggests that more than 5.76 million properties in Great Britain are today exposed to medium or high ...

We humans breathe air. We inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. This is our life force. But as we inhale oxygen we also intake other gasses from the air. Whatever we take in affects our health. As the air quality gets filled with impurities, these impurities get inside along with the oxygen. This air directly affects our lungs, our whole respiratory track, our blood flow, and every other part of our body. All this act as a slow poison for our body. Hence living in an environment that occupies unclean air can be deadly for us. To maintain often MEP systems are constructed. While hired contractors have MEP estimating services to construct them.

There’s been little change in the homeownership rate for Black families in 50 years, so some lenders are rethinking their practices to make buying a home more a reality than a dream. Research shows a 20%-30% gap between Black and white homeownership rates has persisted for more than 100 years, despite increases in Black homeownership in the mid-1900s. Among the many causes today include credit scores averaging around 649 for 60% of African Americans. Jonathan Leysath, Jacksonville branch manager for Self-Help Credit Union, said they have adjusted their mortgage products to help boost equity in the lending process and be more lenient with buyers with credit challenges. “The Equity Boost product can go all the way down to a 580 credit score with only a minimum borrower investment as low as only 1%,” Leysath explained. “As opposed to like the FHA, which is 3.5%.” Leysath argued flexibility is important because many factors continue to block economic progress for Black individuals....

Colorado ‘s community health centers are joining a national effort pushing back against Big Pharma ‘s recent moves making it harder to provide discounted medicines to people living in severe poverty. Donald Moore, chief executive officer of the Pueblo Community Health Center, said a federal program known as 340B has helped more of Pueblo’s Latino community, who experience much higher rates of chronic disease, and more barriers to accessing primary health care . “We’re totally fulfilling the purpose of the legislation,” Moore explained. “Which is to stretch our public funding as far as it can go to reach the people most in need, which in our case includes minority populations.” Over the past two years, drug producers and third-party prescription drug benefit managers have been throwing up barriers to the 340B program, according to a new report calling on Congress to add new protections.

People across the nation are continuing to discuss gun violence in the wake of two prominent mass shootings in Texas and New York . The conversation brings up painful memories for communities that have experienced them in the past – and are a reminder that this violence hurts a wide circle of people, including health-care professionals. Lynda Pond is president of the Oregon Nurses Association and was working at a Springfield hospital when a shooter killed two and injured 25 at a nearby school in Eugene. “You can’t just look at the immediate impact of something,” said Pond. “You have to look at the long-term impact, not just on families but every person whose life is touched – be it a doctor, be it a nurse, be it a social worker, be it a minister, be it the psychologist that takes care of them 20 years later as they’re processing their PTSD .” On Sunday, U.S. senators announced they’d reached a bipartisan deal on a number of gun safety laws. Victims of the 1998 shooting at Thur...

Florida lawmakers have signed off on quick fixes to the state’s property insurance crisis – but critics say the plan pays little attention to the growing threat of climate change. Insurance and risk-management experts agree, Florida’s special session was necessary to curb insurance fraud – from issues like limiting contractors from going door-to-door to repair roofs with minimal damage. But Charles Nyce, associate director with the Center for Risk Management Education and Research at Florida State University, said fraud is only part of the problem. There are hurricanes, and the uncertainties around even more dangerous storms due to the warming climate. “What we’re seeing in the last couple of years is both of those things happening,” said Nyce. “We’re seeing a lot of storm activity since 2016-17 to today, and we’re seeing a lot of fraud. And the insurance companies have not been able to survive both of those things happening at once.” Nyce warned that as more severe storms are r...

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issues hundreds of recall notices for potentially unsafe food products each year, but consumer advocates say too few of them are reaching grocery customers. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported one in six Americans are sickened each year by foodborne illnesses. It is up to the FDA and grocery stores to notify purchasers about recalls, but a new study found it is not working very well. Teresa Murray, consumer watchdog for the Arizona Public Research Interest Group Education Fund, said the current system often leaves shoppers in the dark. “Right now, it’s a hodgepodge,” Murray asserted. “Some of the blame is on the shoulders of the groceries, some of it is on the FDA, and frankly, some of it’s on the part of consumers, who need to do more to make sure that they’re informed.” Murry pointed out when recall notices do not get people’s attention, there can be serious consequences. CDC data show each year, 128...
