    Hurricane Irene is Coming to Town

    In August 2011, Richmond City Health District in Virginia was implementing new plans about how the local health department supports local shelter operations because Hurricane Irene was coming to town.

    Alex’s Story

    For Alex’s parents, rural Ohio seemed like the perfect location to raise a family. In its rolling hills and vast farmland laid the safety and security of a small town setting. The schools were filled with neighbors’ children and residents did not think twice about leaving the doors to their homes unlocked. That is, until their teenage son became an opiate addict.
