The advisory was issued for a specific area after "a contractor broke a water main at the end of 10th Street," according to the post.
Residents who are affected by the advisory will be notified when it’s come to an end through hand-delivered notices, according to the Facebook post, as well as through posts to the parish government’s social media accounts.
Climate change imperiling public health in ‘potentially irreversible’ ways, report warns Climate change significantly imperils public health globally, according to a new report that chronicles the many hazards and symptoms already being seen.
Heat waves are striking more people, disease-carrying mosquitoes are spreading and weather disasters are becoming more common, the authors note in the report published Monday by the British medical journal the Lancet.
It is the latest in several Lancet reports to focus on climate change.
In 2009, a Lancet commission described climate change as "the biggest global health threat of the 21st century."
Given the profound health dangers posed by a warming climate, the study’s authors focused on a key question: How well is the world responding?
In the 25 years since 1990, these disasters claimed more than 500,000 lives.
"If governments and the global health community do not learn from the past experiences of HIV/AIDS and the recent outbreaks of Ebola and Zika viruses," the authors warn in the paper, "another slow response will result in an irreversible and unacceptable cost to human health."
"If anybody says we can adapt our way out of this, the answer is, of course you can’t," he said.
