Spikes in emergency visits during Colorado bad air days cost $1.14 billion in 2019
Colorado lawmakers are digging into the health and economic impacts of the state's poor air quality from wildfire smoke and ozone pollution.
(Colorado Newsline) White House Homeland Security Adviser Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall said Monday during a press briefing there are 600 people unaccounted for following Hurricane Helene, as federal officials mount a response to the catastrophic storm in states across the Southeast.
Sherwood-Randall said that could lead the death toll to rise into the hundreds, but added officials are “very hopeful” some of those missing have cell phones that are not working and “actually are alive.”
