When a hurricane is coming at you, you know it. The media won't let you forget.

Just since the start of the decade 36 hurricanes have made landfall in the United States, 16 of which were major storms of Category 3 or greater. The level of destruction these tempests leave in their wake typically results in the need for clean water to sustain the population impacted.

Tornadoes are a different matter, striking indiscriminately and with little warning.

Since 2020 there have been 5,546 recorded twisters resulting in 281 fatalities and over $4.5 billion in damage. Paths of destruction can be more than a mile wide and 50 miles long, causing much more localized devastation and often requiring clean water for those victimized.

Flooding is actually the most common and costly natural disaster in the United States.

In 2021, flood-related events caused more than $85 billion in damage and economic losses. Floods weaken or destroy infrastructure, upend livelihoods, and reduce productivity for families and businesses alike. And, in spite of all that water, clean water remains the most basic need.

Over the past 60 years more wildfires are occurring, and those fires are larger.

The western United States witnessed a 1200% increase in annual area burned in forest fires between the 1970s and 2000s. Counterintuitively, there are more fires in the East, although they are smaller. When fires do impact human populations, clean water is one of the most obvious needs.

In parts of the US, the duration and magnitude of drought conditions are increasingly alarming.

Back in 2021 the Great Texas Freeze brought winter storms to the attention of the nation.

At SNOVID-21's peak nearly 10 million people were without power, lacking warmth, water, and the ability to cook food. There were 246 deaths across 77 counties. All of this graphically illustrated the impact of the winter storm. Many water advisories were issued.
