Forming the Post Helene Water Response (PoWR) Team

The team, led by Jackie MacDonald Gibson (NC State) and Rebecca Fry (UNC-CH) was recently funded by the CEHS/CHHE Inter-P30 Rapid Response Initiative.  This community-based participatory work will use pre-hurricane data and recently collected samples to conduct drinking water analyses targeting organic and inorganic chemicals and microbial contaminants, with report-back to those involved. The work will address concerns identified to date by community partners in Western NC.
