ara un sector de la población de Estados Unidos, la pandemia del COVID-19 ha representado una transformación de su vida laboral.

Se ha diluido la frontera entre la vida personal y profesional, y en muchas áreas de la economía la conectividad de alta velocidad de Internet ha hecho posible mantener e incluso incrementar la productividad de manera remota, a través de un nuevo esquema de colaboración virtual en tiempo real, literalmente las 24 horas del día.

Pero la pandemia ha puesto al descubierto –y profundizado-- un padecimiento crónico que afecta a millones de estudiantes de todo el país, que se manifiesta en las disparidades de acceso al conocimiento a través de Internet y que afecta desproporcionalmente a las comunidades rurales, de bajos ingresos y a las minorías hispana y afroamericana.

De la misma forma que el Coronavirus ha causado los mayores estragos entre las comunidades latina y afroamericana –en gran medida porque representan la mayor proporción de trabajadores esenciales que arriesgan su vida todos los días—, la brecha de conectividad amenaza con ensanchar la desigualdad para los segmentos más vulnerables del país.

Si la pandemia del COVID-19 es una emergencia sanitaria nacional, el agrandamiento de la brecha de conectividad amenaza con condenar a una generación de niños hispanos, afroamericanos, pobres o rurales al estancamiento de su movilidad social.

Con o sin vacuna para el COVID, se trata de un problema demasiado grave y grande para ser resuelto sólo por el gobierno. Reclama la atención urgente del sector privado y de la sociedad civil, y merece ser un tema central en la conversación nacional del año electoral.

or a sector of the United States population, the COVID-19 pandemic has represented a transformation in their working lives.

The border between personal and professional life has been blurred, and in many areas of the economy, high-speed Internet connectivity has made it possible to maintain and even increase productivity remotely, through a new scheme of virtual collaboration in real time, literally 24 hours a day.

But the pandemic has exposed and deepened - a chronic illness that affects millions of students Para más información visita www.lar- across the country, manifested in edhispana.com. disparities in access to knowledge

Desde antes de la pandemia, la brecha de conectividad afectaba la capacidad de los estudiantes en completar sus tareas y asignaciones educativas diariamente. A raíz de la nueva normalidad de la era COVID-19, la perspectiva inmediata es un ensanchamiento de esa brecha, toda vez que una gran parte del contenido educativo se impartirá de manera remota.

Entre los adolescentes hispanos, el sondeo mostró que el 18% de ellos dijo no tener acceso a computadora en casa, comparado con 9% de los

Since before the pandemic, the connectivity gap affected the ability of students to complete their homework and educational assignments on a daily basis. In the wake of the new normal of the COVID-19 era, the immediate prospect is a widening of that gap, as much of the educational content will be delivered remotely.

A study by the Pew Research Center shows that 15% of American households with school-age children lack high-speed Internet connectivity at home, according to 2018 data. The problem is most acute among school-age children from low-income households. This is because about 35% of those households with children between 6 and 17 years old, with an annual income below $ 30,000 a year, do not have high-speed Internet connectivity at home, compared to only 6 % of households with incomes greater than $ 75,000 per year.

Worse still, according to the same study, 25% of households with incomes below $ 30,000 a year even lack access to a computer at home, compared with just 4% of those households with incomes above $75,000.

Un estudio del Pew Research Center muestra que 15% de los hogares estadounidenses con niños en edad escolar carecen de conectividad de Internet de alta velocidad en casa, según datos del 2018. El problema es más agudo entre los niños de edad escolar de hogares de bajos ingresos, toda vez que alrededor de un 35% de esos hogares con niños entre 6 y 17 años, con un ingreso anual por debajo de los $30,000 al año, no tienen conectividad de Internet de alta velocidad en casa, comparado, con sólo el 6% de los hogares con ingresos superiores a los $75,000 al año.

Peor aún, de acuerdo con el mismo estudio, un 25% de los hogares con ingresos por debajo de $30,000 al año carecen incluso de acceso a una computadora en casa, comparado con apenas el 4% de aquellos hogares con ingresos superiores a los $75,000.

In the same way that the Coronavirus has caused the greatest havoc among the Latino and AfricanAmerican communities - largely because they represent the largest proportion of essential workers who risk their lives every day - the connectivity gap threatens to widen inequality for the most vulnerable segments of the country.

Among Hispanic teens, the survey showed that 18% of them said they did not have access to a computer at home, compared with 9% of nonHispanic white teens and 11% of African-American teens.

If the COVID-19 pandemic is a national health emergency, the widening connectivity gap threatens to condemn a generation of Hispanic, African-American, poor or rural children to stagnation in their social and educational mobility.

LOS PADRES ESTUDIANTES HACEN MALABARES CON EL CUIDADO DE LOS NIÑOS Y LOS ESTUDIOS A MEDIDA QUE COMIENZA EL AÑO ESCOLAR

STUDENT PARENTS JUGGLE CHILDCARE, STUDIES AS SCHOOL YEAR BEGINS

USTIN, Texas - Los padres de los estudiantes tienen algunas consideraciones importantes a medida que comienza el nuevo año escolar.

Desde centros de cuidado infantil cerrados hasta escasez de computadoras en todo el país y acceso limitado de banda ancha en algunas áreas, la pandemia ha exacerbado los desafíos.

Cristina Guajardo es residente del Programa Jeremiah en Austin, que brinda a las madres solteras de bajos ingresos viviendas y cuidado de niños seguros y asequibles.

Con la guardería de su hijo de dos años cerrada, ella es una madre de tiempo completo que toma clases en línea en la Universidad Estatal de Texas, y su último año acaba de comenzar.

"No estoy completamente presente con mis clases, no estoy completamente presente para él", dijo Guajardo.

"Y es sólo una cuestión de tratar de hacer malabarismos con todo. Y al final del día, estoy exhausto".

Pero Guajardo espera estar dando un buen ejemplo a su hijo, por su capacidad de recuperación y cómo superar obstáculos en tiempos difíciles. Aproximadamente uno de cada cuatro estudiantes universitarios de Texas también es padre.

Los padres estudiantes, especialmente las madres solteras y los padres negros, tienden a tener más deudas estu-

diantiles y menos seguridad financiera que sus compañeros que no tienen hijos.

Marisa Phillips, directora ejecutiva de Buckner Children and Family Services en Lufkin, dijo que existen vacíos de apoyo que las instituciones no están llenando, o que ni siquiera conocen.

"Es raro en este momento que las escuelas rastreen o sepan exactamente cuántos de sus estudiantes son padres", dijo Phillips.

Phillips agregó que más campus están incorporando personal designado para ayudar a apoyar a los padres de los estudiantes con sus planes financieros y de cuidado infantil, préstamos de libros de texto y otras necesidades. Pero es un trabajo en progreso.

Los centros de cuidado infantil en los campus universitarios se han ido cerrando gradualmente durante la última década.

USTIN, Texas -- Student parents have some major considerations as the new school year begins.

A

Marisa Phillips, executive director of Buckner Children and Family Services in Lufkin, said there are support gaps that institutions aren't filling, or even aware of.

From closed childcare centers, to nationwide computer shortages and limited broadband access in some areas, the pandemic has exacerbated the challenges.

"It is rare at this point that schools even track or know exactly how many of their students are parenting students," Phillips said.

Cristina Guajardo is a resident at the Jeremiah Program in Austin, which provides lower-income single moms with safe and affordable housing and childcare.

Phillips added more campuses are bringing on designated staff to help support student parents with their financial and childcare plans, textbook loans, and other needs. But it's a work in progress.

With her two-year-old son's daycare closed, she's a full-time parent taking online classes at Texas State University, and her senior year just started.

Childcare centers on college campuses have been gradually closing over the last decade.

"I'm not fully present with my classes, I'm not fully present for him," Guajardo said. "And it's just a matter of trying to juggle it all. And at the end of the day, I'm exhausted."

With so many families together at home, Guajardo noted more people now understand the challenges of working and watching the kids simultaneously.

"Sabes, antes eso era algo de lo que tal vez la gente no estaba al tanto", dijo Guajardo. "Pero para muchas mamás en situación de pobreza, y en particular para muchas madres solteras, esa es nuestra realidad. Es nuestro día a día".

But Guajardo hopes she's setting a good example for her son, for resiliency and how to overcome obstacles in difficult times. About one in four Texas undergraduates is also a parent.

"You know, before, that was something that maybe people weren't aware of," Guajardo said. "But for a lot of moms in poverty, and a lot of single moms in particular, that's our reality.

That's our every day."

Ella espera que los programas conduzcan a opciones de cuidado infantil de mejor calidad y más asequibles, más allá de la pandemia.

Student parents, especially single mothers and Black parents, tend to have more student debt and less financial security than their peers who

She hopes the programs will lead to better quality and more affordable childcare options, beyond the pandemic.

Con tantas familias juntas en casa, Guajardo notó que ahora más personas comprenden los desafíos de trabajar y cuidar a los niños simultáneamente.

LO O M I N GTO N , Ind. -- Some disinfecting cleaners being used to prevent the spread of COVID-19 actually could leave behind potentially dangerous chemicals.

Scientists from Indiana University compared dust samples collected from residential homes in June 2020 with previous samples collected in 2018 and 2019.

Report co-author Amina Salamova, associate research scientist for the O'Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University-Bloomington, said a class of chemicals called "QACs" that are used as disinfectants were found in much higher concentrations in the samples collected after the outbreak.

stop disinfecting your environment in the situation of the pandemic," Salamova cautioned. "Just be careful about what you use and use as it's advised on the product label, as it's advised by the CDC and the EPA. Don't overuse it."

Other research has linked the compounds to reproductive and developmental problems in animals.

Salamova said the research found disinfecting cleaning wipes had much higher levels of QACs than cleaning sprays. She noted alcohol-based cleaners might be a safer alternative.

"We also incidentally found that the homes that used products that did not have QACs or used just a simple alcohol-based cleaner had much lower levels, so that can be an option," Salamova suggested.

The levels of QACs in homes that reported more frequent disinfecting due to the pandemic were significantly higher than in homes that disinfected less. According to the research, dust easily absorbs QACs, which could result in the contamination of an indoor environment that lasts long after the pandemic.

LOOMINGTON, Ind. - Algunos limpiadores desinfectantes que se utilizan para prevenir la propagación del COVID-19 en realidad podrían dejar sustancias químicas potencialmente peligrosas.

Los científicos de la Universidad de Indiana compararon las muestras de polvo recolectadas de hogares residenciales en junio de 2020 con muestras anteriores recolectadas en 2018 y 2019.

La coautora del informe Amina Salamova, científica investigadora asociada

Dijo que la exposición elevada a los QAC se ha relacionado con un mayor riesgo de asma e irritación de la piel.

"Obviamente, no estamos sugiriendo que dejes de desinfectar tu entorno en la situación de la pandemia", advirtió Salamova.

"Solo tenga cuidado con lo que usa y usa como se

recomienda en la etiqueta del producto, como lo recomiendan los CDC y la EPA. No lo use en exceso".

Otra investigación ha relacionado los compuestos con problemas de reproducción y desarrollo en animales.

Salamova dijo que la investigación encontró que las toallitas de limpieza desinfectantes tenían niveles mucho más altos de QAC que los aerosoles de limpieza. Señaló que los limpiadores a base de alcohol podrían ser una alternativa más segura.

"También descubrimos de manera incidental que los hogares que usaban productos que no tenían QAC o que usaban solo un limpiador simple a base de alcohol tenían niveles mucho más bajos, por lo que esa puede ser una opción", sugirió Salamova.

Los niveles de QAC en los hogares que informaron desinfección más frecuente debido a la pandemia fueron significativamente más altos que en los hogares que desinfectaron menos. Según la investigación, el polvo absorbe fácilmente los QAC, lo que podría resultar en la contaminación de un ambiente interior que dura mucho tiempo después de la pandemia.

She said elevated exposure to QACs has been linked to increased risks of asthma and skin irritation.

COCINANDO COMIDAS DIARIAS QUE TE COOKING DAILY MEALS THAT CONNECT CONECTAN A TU HERENCIA HISPANA YOU TO YOUR HISPANIC HERITAGE

n los Estados Unidos, más de la mitad de los consumidores han reportado cocinar en casa con más frecuencia durante la pandemia, y el 49% de los consumidores han reportado comer juntos en familia con más frecuencia debido al COVID-191. Las búsquedas en Google para "clases de cocina en línea" han aumentado cinco veces2 más y los videos de "cocinar conmigo" en YouTube han experimentado un aumento del 100% en vistas diarias de promedio.

Mientras muchos consumidores están empezando su aventura en la cocina, el cocinar desde cero y crear comidas caseras tradicionales ha sido durante mucho tiempo lo tradicional entre las familias hispanas.

Para las familias hispanas, el cocinar comidas y recetas familiares tradicionales es visto como una labor de amor que pasa de generación en generación, y una manera fuerte de mantenerse conectado con su herencia. Estos platos se cocinan desde cero y requieren unos tiempos de cocción largos y lentos con una extensa lista de ingredientes frescos, hierbas, especias y carnes.

Sin embargo, con los horarios cada vez más ocupados y teniendo menos tiempo para pasar en la cocina, las familias hispanas de todo el país se enfrentan al desafío de crear comidas familiares tradicionales dentro de un plazo más limitado. Una encuesta reciente de Rumba Meats® descubrió que los consumidores hispanos han recurrido soluciones rápidas que ayudan a poner la cena en la mesa de una manera más rápida. El estudio también reflejó que, a pesar del amor por la cocina tradicional, los hispanos más jóvenes confesaron que carecía de tiempo y conocimiento para cocinar comidas tradicionales complicadas.

Recientemente, los convenientes productos cárnicos frescos, como los pre-cortados, han crecido en popularidad entre los consumidores hispanos. Estas proteínas están ayudando a los consumidores a cocinar recetas tradicionales con ingredientes frescos y los sabores que siempre les han gustado, mientras ahorran tiempo en la cocina durante la semana cuando el tiempo es más limitado.

Los consumidores hispanos son compradores que planifican y centran sus comidas en carnes de alta calidad. Y a medida que planean sus comidas, estos cada vez más están recurriendo a recetas que ahorran tiempo. Una de las carnes más compradas para los consumidores hispanos es la carne de res.

En una encuesta reciente, 9 de cada 10 consumidores hispanos reportaron haber comprado carne de res regularmente, y el 44% informó haber comprado regularmente una amplia gama de cortes no tradicionales de carne de res.

Rumba Meats ha introducido una variedad de productos de carne fresca y recetas que ayudan a ahorrar tiempo mientras contienen todos los sabores tradicionales que tanto gustan a las familias hispanas. Tres soluciones clave incluyen: recetas super rápidas; preparación de comidas - o reservando tiempo para cocinar cosas que se pueden disfrutar durante toda la semana para comidas fáciles; y ciertos atajos en recetas, son formas en que las familias hispanas pueden facilitar el proceso de cocción mientras disfrutan de las comidas tradicionales.

n the United States, more than half of consumers have reported cooking at home more frequently during the pandemic, and 49% of consumers have reported eating together as a family more frequently due to COVID-191. Google searches for "online cooking classes" have increased five times2 and "cook with me" videos on YouTube have seen a 100% increase in average daily views.

Las recetas "super rápidas" son un gran ejemplo de cómo crear recetas populares tradicionales tomando menos pasos para hacer el platillo. Por lo general, y como ejemplo, las salsas comienzan con una larga lista de ingredientes frescos cuando se hacen desde cero. Una manera de ahorrar tiempo al hacer una salsa es comenzando con una base de salsa que se puede comprar en la tienda de comestibles y simplemente se le añade tomates Roma y cilantro picado para una salsa rápida y fresca. Con esta base pre-hecha, esta salsa requiere sólo de dos ingredientes adicionales para una salsa con un sabor fresco, y combina fácilmente con una carne picada para una deliciosa comida familiar.

While many consumers are beginning their adventure in the kitchen, cooking from scratch and creating traditional home-cooked meals has long been traditional among Hispanic families.

Otro método que está ganando en popularidad es el reservar tiempo los fines de semana, cuando los horarios están menos ocupados, para cocinar una vez y usar las sobras para hacer diferentes comidas durante la semana. Por ejemplo, una receta de barbacoa de cachete que se puede utilizar de inmediato para unos deliciosos tacos, y después (otro día, después de congelar y calentar la carne) se puede utilizar para hacer unas quesadillas fáciles. El caldo de huesos también es una gran receta que se puede congelar y luego utilizar en un menudo rápido.

However, with increasingly busy schedules and less time to spend in the kitchen, Hispanic families across the country are faced with the challenge of creating traditional family meals within a more limited time frame. A recent Rumba Meats® survey found that Hispanic consumers have turned to quick fixes that help put dinner on the table faster. The study also found that despite their love for traditional cuisine, younger Hispanics confessed that they lacked the time and knowledge to cook complicated traditional meals.

Por último, los atajos (de recetas) o formas en hacer una receta más rápida y/o fácil han seguido creciendo en popularidad. Una manera es utilizar la olla de cocción lenta para una cocción fácil. Esta carne de res estofada de adobado, por ejemplo, se puede cocinar en la olla de cocción lenta para una deliciosa comida que no requiere supervisión. Esta receta en particular permite a los consumidores hispanos cocinar comidas tradicionales mientras están fuera del trabajo o haciendo mandados.

Estos atajos y trucos para ahorrar tiempo, junto con los productos de carne fresca ampliamente disponibles y convenientes, permiten a las familias hispanas cocinar sus recetas favoritas, que se han transmitido durante generaciones, sin pasar horas de preparación y cocción en la cocina. En cualquier noche de la semana, las familias pueden planificar cuidadosamente las comidas que fomentan la importante conexión con su herencia a través de alimentos nutritivos y deliciosos.

For Hispanic families, cooking traditional family meals and recipes is seen as a labor of love passed down from generation to generation, and a strong way to stay connected to their heritage. These dishes are cooked from scratch and require long and slow cook times with an extensive list of fresh ingredients, herbs, spices and meats.

Recently, convenient fresh meat products, such as pre-cut ones, have grown in popularity with Hispanic consumers. These proteins are helping consumers cook traditional recipes with fresh ingredients and the flavors they've always loved, while saving time in the kitchen during the week when time is more limited.

Hispanic consumers are shoppers who plan and focus their meals on high-quality meats.

And as they plan their meals, they are increasingly turning to recipes that save time. One of the most purchased meats for Hispanic consumers is beef. In a recent survey, 9 out of 10 Hispanic consumers reported purchasing beef regularly, and 44% reported purchasing a wide range of non-traditional cuts of beef regularly.

Rumba Meats has introduced a variety of fresh meat products and recipes that help save time while containing all the traditional flavors that Hispanic families love. Three key solutions include: super quick recipes; meal prep - or setting aside time to cook things that can be enjoyed throughout the week for easy meals; and certain recipe shortcuts are ways Hispanic families can ease the cooking process while enjoying traditional foods.

The "super quick" recipes are a great example of how to create traditional folk recipes by taking fewer steps to make the dish. Sauces usually start with a long list of fresh ingredients as an example when made from scratch. One way to save time when making a sauce is to start with a grocery store-bought sauce base and simply add Roma tomatoes and chopped cilantro for a quick, fresh sauce. With this pre-made base, this sauce requires just two additional ingredients for a fresh-tasting sauce, and pairs easily with ground beef for a delicious family meal.

Another method that is gaining in popularity is setting aside time on the weekends, when hours are less busy, to cook once and use the leftovers to make different meals during the week. For example, a cheek barbecue recipe that can be used right away for some delicious tacos, and then (another day, after freezing and heating the meat) can be used to make some easy quesadillas. Bone broth is also a great recipe that can be frozen and then used in a quick menudo.

Lastly, (recipe) shortcuts or ways to make a recipe faster and / or easier have continued to grow in popularity. One way is to use the slow cooker for easy cooking. This braised marinated beef, for example, can be cooked in the slow cooker for a delicious meal that requires no supervision.

This particular recipe allows Hispanic consumers to cook traditional meals while away from work or running errands.

These time-saving shortcuts and tricks, along with the widely available and convenient fresh meat products, allow Hispanic families to cook their favorite recipes, which have been passed down for generations, without spending hours preparing and cooking in the kitchen. On any night of the week, families can carefully plan meals that foster the important connection to their heritage through nutritious and delicious foods.

CANCER SURVIVORS AWAIT OUTCOME OF CELL-PHONE WARNINGS LAWSUIT

ACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Cancer survivors are speaking out as they await the outcome of several lawsuits concerning radiation and cell phones.

The suits challenge the Federal Communication Commission's radiation guidelines, the radio-frequency or 'RF' levels from cell phones, and safety notices required by the City of Berkeley.

Courtney Kelley, a young mother who has beaten back breast cancer twice, said she used to keep her phone tucked into her bra - but not anymore.

"I use headphones when I talk, or speaker phone," said Kelley. "I don't sleep with my cell phone near me. I never put my cell phone in a pocket or in my bra. I'm even uncomfortable with it in my purse next to my body, I try to keep it far away."

The cellular industry insists its products are safe, although a 2018 study by the National Toxicology Program concluded cell-phone radiation causes brain tumors in rats.

Orange County surgeon Dr. John West, who wrote a book on breast cancer called "Prevent, Survive, Thrive," said he's seen multiple patients -- with no family history or genetic predisposition -- develop tumors near where they usually kept their phone.

55-year-old Cally Pivano had a fastgrowing, softball-sized tumor removed from her left leg. Now, it has metastasized to her lungs, back, right leg and her heart.

A doctor told her it might have been caused by exposure to radiation.

"And then I had an epiphany," said Pivano. "My laptop! I put that on my left leg, almost every day, for hours. And then, when I searched for the owner's manual for my laptop, there it was in black and white: 'Must be kept a minimum of eight inches away from your body.'"

And 49-year-old Paul Griffiths, a father of two from San Jose, is fighting a brain tumor above the ear where he said he used to squeeze his phone while taking notes on work calls.

"First thing I thought of is, 'I bet you this thing is right above my ear on my right side,' where I always feared," said Griffiths.

"And lo and behold, that's exactly where it was."

ACRAMENTO, Calif. - Los sobrevivientes de cáncer están hablando mientras esperan el resultado de varias demandas relacionadas con la radiación y los teléfonos celulares.

Las demandas desafían las pautas de radiación de la Comisión Federal de Comunicaciones, los niveles de radiofrecuencia o 'RF'

de los teléfonos celulares y los avisos de seguridad requeridos por la ciudad de Berkeley.

Courtney Kelley, una madre joven que ha vencido al cáncer de mama dos veces, dijo que solía mantener su teléfono metido en su sostén, pero ya no.

"Utilizo auriculares cuando hablo o el teléfono con altavoz", dijo Kelley. "No duermo con mi celular cerca de mí. Nunca me meto mi celular en un bolsillo o en mi sostén. Me siento incluso incómodo con él en mi bolso al lado de mi cuerpo, trato de mantenerlo lejos. " La industria celular insiste en que sus productos son seguros, aunque un estudio de 2018 realizado por el Programa Nacional de Toxicología concluyó que la radiación de los teléfonos celulares causa tumores cerebrales en ratas.

El cirujano del condado de Orange, el Dr. John West, que escribió un libro sobre el cáncer de mama llamado "Prevenir, sobrevivir, prosperar", dijo que ha visto a varios pacientes, sin antecedentes familiares ni predisposición genética, desarrollar tumores cerca de donde normalmente guardaban su teléfono.

A Cally Pivano, de 55 años, le extirparon un tumor del tamaño de una pelota de béisbol de rápido crecimiento de su pierna izquierda.

Ahora, ha hecho metástasis a sus pulmones, espalda, pierna derecha y corazón. Un médico le dijo que podría haber sido causado por la exposición a la radiación.

"Y luego tuve una epifanía", dijo Pivano. "¡Mi computadora portátil! Lo puse en mi pierna izquierda, casi todos los días, durante horas.

Y luego, cuando busqué el manual del propietario de mi computadora portátil, allí estaba en blanco y negro: 'Debe mantenerse un mínimo de veinte centímetros. lejos de tu cuerpo '".

Y Paul Griffiths, de 49 años y padre de dos hijos de San José, está luchando contra un tumor cerebral sobre la oreja donde dijo que solía apretar su teléfono mientras tomaba notas en las llamadas del trabajo.

"Lo primero que pensé es, 'Apuesto a que esta cosa está justo encima de mi oreja en mi lado derecho', donde siempre temí", dijo Griffiths.

"Y he aquí, ahí es exactamente dónde estaba".

HOW TO HEAL EMOTIONAL WOUNDS AFTER DISASTER Jamie Smith Hopkins California Health Report

ed; two more times she had close calls. It took years, but showing up at city council meetings, organizing with other residents and not letting elected officials ignore the problem got results.

It was also a powerful coping mechanism.

We heard from more than 200 disaster survivors and people helping them. Here’s what we learned.

“We met all these awesome people we wouldn’t have met,” said Sullivan, who linked up with Higher Ground, a national flood-survivor group. “And we can sleep now — mostly — when it rains.”

Disasters are stressful. Our warming world keeps adding fuel to the fires — and floods and hurricanes, among other calamities. What can be done about the trauma that follows?

The Center for Public Integrity, Columbia Journalism Investigations and our partners in newsrooms around the country, including the California Health Report, have been reporting on this for months. We’ve learned a lot by asking experts: people who’ve lived through disasters and the professionals who study this or provide hands-on help. More than 230 shared their experiences in our detailed survey (available here bit.ly/3gwn1Ww), and we interviewed dozens of additional people.

Some takeaways: Be aware. It might seem simplistic, but you’re one step ahead if you know that surviving a disaster and dealing with the long aftermath can be hard on mental health. Keep an eye out for symptoms, not just obvious ones like constant worrying or feeling short-tempered, but also trouble sleeping (or oversleeping), overeating (or lack of appetite) and heavy drinking. Remember that kids can feel the impact, too, and that might show up as acting out or trouble in school.

You might notice effects right away. Or they might take a while to surface. Either way, it’s normal — and it can linger. Hilton Kelley, whose community of Port Arthur, Texas, was heavily affected by 2017’s Hurricane Harvey, sums it up: “It will be years before we get out of this.”

Seek support. Most people who took our survey didn’t get mental-health services after their disaster experience. Some couldn’t afford therapy or other assistance. Some thought they didn’t need it, though the emotional challenges a portion of them reported made us wonder if support could have made the hard times more bearable. Some free avenues to try: • The Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Program. States with a qualifying major disaster can tap a federal grant to offer emotional support to residents, usually available for up to a year. You can talk to a counselor by phone or potentially a video-conferencing platform (and pre-COVID, you could meet in person). Counselors won’t keep case files on you, and you can access the help multiple times while the program is running. Counselors will try to connect you with local mental-health services if you want more assistance and might also refer you to other sorts of help, such as disaster aid.

Most states are running this program amid the pandemic, but you can call the Federal Emergency Management Agency (800-621-FEMA) to find out how to access it.

• The federal Disaster Distress Helpline. It’s available round the clock for calls (800-9855990) and texts (instructions at samhsa.gov/ find-help/disaster-distress-helpline) in English and Spanish. Counselors offer coping advice and can make referrals to other services.

• General mental-health helplines. Those include ones run by the National Alliance on Mental Illness and local affiliates, the Crisis Text Line and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

• Your community. Family, friends, your pastor or other religious leaders, your child’s school counselor, neighbors, co-workers — support can come from a variety of places. Other disaster survivors, for instance: They know what

Kevin McKinney’s neighborhood in Richwood, Texas, south of Houston, weathered Hurricane Harvey. The devastating flood, he said, came four days later. He and hundreds of other neighbors organized, then sued a nearby city whose floodwater diversion efforts, they allege, damaged their homes. That complaint is pending.

forts included cooking gumbo for people in the community.

Our investigation found that many survivors never hear about or receive help from the federal crisis counseling program, the country’s main response to the mental-health consequences of disasters. As extreme weather worsens, that puts more pressure on other forms of assistance.

Solemi Hernandez, a Florida resident whose employer shuttered after Hurricane Irma in 2017 and who searched for weeks for a new job, saw personal benefits from volunteer work. “Losing myself in service to others … is a way I became stable and not as depressed,” she said.

“We don’t have enough mental-health providers in all of the country to manage huge, largescale disasters — nor will people use them,” said Dr. Joshua C. Morganstein, assistant director of the Center for the Study of Traumatic Stress at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. “That is why communities and organizations become so important.”

Take action. Identifying a problem that caused or worsened the disaster’s impacts — and then pressing for fixes — is a key way some survivors bolstered their wellbeing.

Offer help. Some disaster survivors found solace as they assisted others, one way to get some control back in a situation primed to make people feel powerless.

“It helped me to keep my sanity,” said Kelley, a restauranteur whose family’s post-disaster ef-

“We ought to have a disaster response strategic plan designed to prioritize the ZIP codes that we know are going to end up suffering the most and are going to have the most difficulty in recuperating,” he said.

Prepare for next time. Almost all the survivors we surveyed were concerned more disasters will hit their community. We heard from a lot of people in regions struck by multiple wildfires, floods, or hurricanes in the last decade, and some cope with that anxiety by getting prepared.

Kelley built a berm around his house to reduce flood risks. R.L. Miller, whose California community in Ventura County was burned by the Woolsey Fire in 2018, is diligent about clearing brush on her property.

Others are thinking of leaving — or they’ve already left. A handful of survey respondents said they moved out of their community at least in part to try to avoid another big hurricane, flood, or fire.

“We have to prepare for more dramatic changes,” he said. “Many places that may be habitable right now may become uninhabitable. …

We’re just at the beginning of the most serious consequences of unabated climate change.”

SÍ

NO

Hernandez, who lives in Naples, on Florida’s Gulf Coast, sees her climate action as one form of long-term prep work. Hurricane Irma, a wildfire in her county in May, local flooding from heavy rain, the increasingly unbearable temperatures in the summer: These are warnings of a future she wants to avert.

Medida H Para financiar los servicios generales de San José, incluyendo protección contra incendios, preparación ante desastres, respuesta de emergencia del 911, reparación de calles, programas juveniles, abordar la falta de vivienda y apoyar a residentes vulnerables, ¿se debería adoptar una ordenanza que aumente la tasa del impuesto de salones de naipes del 15% al 16.5%, aplicando el impuesto a terceros proveedores a estas tarifas: hasta $25,000,000 al 5%; $25,000,001 a $30,000,000 al 7.5%; y más de $30,000,000 al 10%, aumentando las mesas de naipes por 30, generando aproximadamente $15,000,000 anuales, hasta que sea derogada?

As disasters hit with more frequency, communities also face questions about how to organize help in the aftermath. Areas with fewer resources need more support to recover. But too often, studies show, they get less of it instead.

Dr. Octavio N. Martinez Jr., executive director of the Hogg Foundation for Mental Health in Texas, wants to see that change.

Whether to stay or go is a fraught decision. It’s one that more and more Americans will be forced to confront as climate change worsens — further increasing inequality. Dr. Irwin Redlener with Columbia University’s National Center for Disaster Preparedness urges communities to get ahead of this.

Medidas sobre las cuales se votará:

¿Se debería modificar la Carta de la Ciudad para: ampliar la supervisión del Auditor de Policía Independiente, incluida la revisión de tiroteos relacionados con oficiales y el uso de incidentes de fuerza que causen la muerte o lesiones corporales, revisión de investigaciones iniciadas por el departamento contra los oficiales y otras modificaciones técnicas; aumentar la Comisión de Planificación a 11 miembros y que el Consejo nombre a un miembro de cada Distrito del Consejo y un miembro “en general”; y permitir que el Consejo no establezca plazos para la redistritación cuando los resultados del Censo se retrasan?

“I didn’t know which way to turn, I didn’t know which way to go. Then you know what? I got it together, and then I got mad,” he said. “Not only did I get mad, but 500 other people around here got mad.”

NO

“I never thought about moving. I love this place,” Hernandez said. “We can do something to save it.”

CÓMO CURAR LAS HERIDAS EMOCIONALES DESPUÉS DE UN DESASTRE Jamie Smith Hopkins California Health Report

“No sabía qué camino tomar, no sabía qué camino tomar. ¿Entonces sabes qué? Lo conseguí y luego me enojé ”, dijo. "No solo me enojé, sino que otras 500 personas de aquí se enojaron".

Escuchamos a más de 200 sobrevivientes de desastres y personas que los ayudaron. Esto es lo que aprendimos.

A medida que los desastres golpean con más frecuencia, las comunidades también enfrentan preguntas sobre cómo organizar la ayuda después de las consecuencias. Las áreas con menos recursos necesitan más apoyo para recuperarse. Pero los estudios muestran que, con demasiada frecuencia, obtienen menos. El Dr. Octavio N. Martinez Jr., director ejecutivo de la Fundación Hogg para la Salud Mental en Texas, quiere ver ese cambio.

L

os desastres son estresantes. Nuestro mundo que se calienta sigue agregando leña a los incendios, inundaciones y huracanes, entre otras calamidades. ¿Qué se puede hacer con el trauma que sigue?

The Center for Public Integrity, Columbia Journalism Investigations y nuestros socios en las salas de redacción de todo el país, incluido el California Health Report, han estado informando sobre esto durante meses.

Hemos aprendido mucho preguntando a los expertos: personas que han vivido desastres y los profesionales que estudian esto o brindan ayuda práctica. Más de 230 compartieron sus experiencias en nuestra encuesta detallada (disponible aquí bit.ly/3gwn1Ww), y entrevistamos a decenas de personas más.

Algunas conclusiones: Sea consciente. Puede parecer simplista, pero está un paso por delante si sabe que sobrevivir a un desastre y lidiar con las largas secuelas puede ser difícil para la salud mental. Esté atento a los síntomas, no solo los obvios como la preocupación constante o la sensación de mal genio, sino también los problemas para dormir (o quedarse dormido), comer en exceso (o falta de apetito) y beber en exceso. Recuerde que los niños también pueden sentir el impacto, y eso podría manifestarse como un mal comportamiento o problemas en la escuela.

Puede notar efectos de inmediato. O pueden tardar un poco en aparecer. De cualquier manera, es normal y puede persistir. Hilton Kelley, cuya comunidad de Port Arthur, Texas, se vio muy afectada por el huracán Harvey de 2017, lo resume: "Pasarán años antes de que salgamos de esto".

Busque apoyo. La mayoría de las personas que respondieron nuestra encuesta no obtuvieron servicios de salud mental después de su experiencia de desastre. Algunos no podían pagar la terapia u otra asistencia.

Algunos pensaron que no lo necesitaban, aunque los desafíos emocionales que una parte de ellos informó nos hicieron preguntarnos si el apoyo podría haber hecho que los tiempos difíciles fueran más llevaderos.

Algunas vías gratuitas para probar: • El Programa de Capacitación y Asistencia en Asesoramiento en Crisis. Los estados con un desastre mayor calificado pueden aprovechar una subvención federal para ofrecer apoyo emocional a los residentes, generalmente disponible hasta por un año.

Puede hablar con un consejero por teléfono o potencialmente a través de una plataforma de videoconferencia (y antes de COVID, podría reunirse en persona). Los consejeros no guardarán archivos de casos sobre usted, y puede acceder a la ayuda varias veces mientras se ejecuta el programa. Los consejeros intentarán ponerlo en contacto con los servicios locales de salud mental si desea más ayuda y también pueden derivarlo a otros tipos de ayuda, como ayuda por desastre.

La mayoría de los estados están ejecutando este programa en medio de la pandemia, pero puede llamar a la Agencia Federal para el Manejo de Emergencias (800-621-FEMA) para averiguar cómo acceder a él.

• La línea de ayuda federal para casos de desastre. Está disponible las 24 horas del día para llamadas (800-985-5990) y mensajes de texto (instrucciones en samhsa.gov/findhelp/disaster-distress-helpline) en inglés y español. Los consejeros ofrecen consejos de afrontamiento y pueden hacer referencias a otros servicios.

• Líneas telefónicas de ayuda general de salud mental. Entre ellos se incluyen los administrados por la Alianza Nacional de Enfermedades Mentales y sus afiliadas locales, la Línea de texto de crisis y la Administración de Servicios de Salud Mental y Abuso de Sustancias.

• Tu comunidad. Familia, amigos, su pastor u otros líderes religiosos, el consejero escolar de su hijo, vecinos, compañeros de trabajo: el apoyo puede provenir de una variedad de lugares. Otros supervivientes de desastres, por ejemplo: saben por lo que estás pasando de una forma que nadie más puede.

Nuestra investigación encontró que muchos sobrevivientes nunca escuchan o reciben ayuda del programa federal de asesoramiento en caso de crisis, la principal respuesta del país a las consecuencias de los desastres en la salud mental. A medida que empeora el clima extremo, eso ejerce más presión sobre otras formas de asistencia.

“No tenemos suficientes proveedores de salud mental en todo el país para manejar desastres enormes a gran escala, ni la gente los usará”, dijo el Dr. Joshua C. Morganstein, director asistente del Centro para el Estudio de Traumatismos Estrés en la Universidad de Ciencias de la Salud de los Servicios Uniformados. "Es por eso que las comunidades y organizaciones se vuelven tan importantes".

Ofrecer ayuda. Algunos sobrevivientes de desastres encontraron consuelo al ayudar a otros, una forma de recuperar algo de control en una situación preparada para hacer que las personas se sientan impotentes.

“Me ayudó a mantener la cordura”, dijo Kelley, un restaurador cuyos esfuerzos familiares posteriores al desastre incluyeron cocinar gumbo para la gente de la comunidad.

Solemi Hernández, una residente de Florida cuyo empleador cerró después del huracán Irma en 2017 y que buscó un nuevo trabajo durante semanas, vio beneficios personales del trabajo voluntario. “Perderme en el servicio a los demás ... es una forma en que me estabilicé y no me deprimí tanto”, dijo.

Tomar acción. Identificar un problema que causó o agravó los impactos del desastre, y luego presionar para que se solucione, es una forma clave en la que algunos sobrevivientes reforzaron su bienestar.

Hernández, coordinador regional del Citizens’ Climate Lobby, presiona para que se tomen medidas sobre el calentamiento global, un factor multiplicador de los desastres. Su consejo a los sobrevivientes: “Use ese trauma. Convierta ese trauma y ese sufrimiento en políticamente activo ".

Kathleen Sullivan, que vive al oeste de Chicago, abogó tenazmente por medidas de control de aguas pluviales en los vecindarios propensos a inundaciones de su ciudad, incluido el suyo. Su casa se inundó dos veces; dos veces más tuvo llamadas cercanas. Tomó años, pero presentarse en las reuniones del concejo municipal, organizarse con otros residentes y no permitir que los funcionarios electos ignoraran el problema dio resultados.

También fue un poderoso mecanismo de supervivencia.

"Conocimos a todas estas personas increíbles que no hubiéramos conocido", dijo Sullivan, quien se vinculó con Higher Ground, un grupo nacional de sobrevivientes de inundaciones. "Y podemos dormir ahora, principalmente, cuando llueve".

El vecindario de Kevin McKinney en Richwood, Texas, al sur de Houston, resistió el huracán Harvey. La devastadora inundación, dijo, se produjo cuatro días después. Él y cientos de otros vecinos se organizaron y luego demandaron a una ciudad cercana cuyos esfuerzos de desvío de aguas, alegan, dañaron sus hogares. Esa denuncia está pendiente.

“Deberíamos tener un plan estratégico de respuesta ante desastres diseñado para priorizar los códigos postales que sabemos que van a terminar sufriendo más y van a tener más dificultades para recuperarse”, dijo.

Prepárate para la próxima vez. Casi todos los sobrevivientes que encuestamos estaban preocupados de que más desastres azotaran su comunidad. Escuchamos a muchas personas en regiones afectadas por múltiples incendios forestales, inundaciones o huracanes en la última década, y algunos enfrentan esa ansiedad preparándose.

Kelley construyó una berma alrededor de su casa para reducir los riesgos de inundaciones. R.L. Miller, cuya comunidad de California en el condado de Ventura fue incendiada por el incendio de Woolsey en 2018, es diligente en limpiar la maleza de su propiedad.

Otros están pensando en irse, o ya se han ido. Un puñado de encuestados dijeron que se mudaron de su comunidad, al menos en parte, para tratar de evitar otro gran huracán, inundación o incendio.

Quedarse o irse es una decisión complicada.

Es uno que más y más estadounidenses se verán obligados a enfrentar a medida que empeora el cambio climático, lo que aumentará aún más la desigualdad. El Dr. Irwin Redlener, del Centro Nacional de Preparación para Desastres de la Universidad de Columbia, insta a las comunidades a adelantarse a esto.

“Tenemos que prepararnos para cambios más dramáticos”, dijo. “Muchos lugares que pueden ser habitables en este momento pueden volverse inhabitables. ... Estamos apenas al comienzo de las consecuencias más graves del cambio climático constante ".

Hernández, que vive en Naples, en la costa del Golfo de Florida, ve su acción climática como una forma de trabajo de preparación a largo plazo. El huracán Irma, un incendio forestal en su condado en mayo, las inundaciones locales por las fuertes lluvias, las temperaturas cada vez más insoportables en el verano: estas son advertencias de un futuro que ella quiere evitar.

“Nunca pensé en mudarme. Amo este lugar ”, dijo Hernández. "Podemos hacer algo para salvarlo".

ALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Los sindicatos que representan a los trabajadores postales en Florida están pidiendo al director general de correos que revierta permanentemente los cambios que han creado importantes retrasos en el correo. Piden al Congreso que apoye a la agencia de la misma manera que apoya a las corporaciones.

que el Senado apruebe un proyecto de ley que solo se refiera al Servicio Postal. En cambio, los republicanos del Senado planean introducir un paquete de estímulo de coronavirus "delgado" que podría incluir $ 10 mil millones asignados para el USPS y $ 300 en beneficios de desempleo semanales.

El Director General de Correos Louis DeJoy anunció que revertiría la reducción de personal y horas de oficina de correos, junto con la eliminación de buzones postales, hasta después de las elecciones de noviembre.

El sábado, la Cámara de Representantes de EE. UU. Aprobó la Ley Delivering for America, que proporciona $ 25 mil millones en fondos adicionales para la agencia y prohíbe los cambios recientes que DeJoy implementó. El proyecto de ley ahora pasa al Senado liderado por los republicanos.

Al Friedman, presidente de la Asociación de Carteros del Estado de Florida, dijo que durante demasiado tiempo se ha pasado por alto a la agencia más confiable de la nación mientras sufría los mismos problemas que las empresas y corporaciones afectadas por problemas como la pandemia. "¿Por qué le dimos un paquete de estímulo a American Airlines, Delta, United, Southwest? Debido a la pérdida de ingresos y al intento de mantener a sus empleados, ¿correcto? ¿Y qué tan diferente es eso del servicio postal? Estamos perdiendo alrededor de $ 3 millones por $ 4 millones al día debido a todas las horas extras forzadas ", dijo Friedman.

ALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Unions representing postal workers in Florida are calling for the postmaster general to permanently reverse changes that have created major mail delays. They are calling on Congress to support the agency the same way it supports corporations.

Los trabajadores sindicales dicen que eso no es suficiente para una solución a largo plazo y restaurar el orden en una agencia que alguna vez fue conocida por ser confiable.

Wanda Harris es presidenta del Local 172 del Área de Miami del Sindicato Estadounidense de Trabajadores Postales. Ella dijo que está desconsolada ya que están inundados de quejas de los clientes.

Dijo que intenta explicar que los cambios están fuera de su control, pero eso no detiene los gritos de los veteranos y propietarios de pequeñas empresas que quedan en el limbo.

"Los ancianos ni siquiera pueden recibir sus cheques a tiempo. Tienen un ingreso fijo. Están tan acostumbrados al primero, al tercero y al quinto, que ahora tienen que esperar sus cheques. Eso es suficiente para que se sientan cómo aunque su vida ha terminado ", dijo Harris. "Eso no es justo."

Wanda Harris is president of Miami Area Local 172 of the American Postal Workers Union.

She said she is heartbroken as they are flooded with complaints from customers. She said she tries to explain that the changes are beyond their control, but it doesn't stop the cries from veterans and small-business owners who are left in limbo.

"The elderly can't even get their checks on time. They are on a fixed income. They are so used to the first and the third and the fifth, now they got to wait on their checks. That's enough to make them feel as though their life is over," Harris said. "That is not fair."

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy announced he would reverse the reduction of staff and post office hours, along with removing postal boxes, until after November's election.

On Saturday, the U.S. House passed The Delivering for America Act, which provides $25 billion in additional funding for the agency and bans the recent changes DeJoy implemented. The bill now moves to the Republican-led Senate.

Al Friedman, president of the Florida State Association of Letter Carriers, said for too long the nation's most trusted agency has been overlooked while suffering the same problems as businesses and corporations impacted by issues such as the pandemic.

"Why did we give a stimulus package to American Airlines, Delta, United, Southwest?

Because of lost revenue and trying to keep their employees employed, correct? And how different is that than the postal service? We're losing about $3 million to $4 million a day because of all the forced overtime," Friedman said.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters the Senate is unlikely to pass a bill that only addresses the Postal Service. Instead, Senate Republicans plan to introduce a "skinny" coronavirus stimulus package that could include $10 billion allocated for the USPS, and $300 in weekly unemployment benefits.

Union workers say that's not enough for a long-term solution and restoring order to an agency once known for being reliable.

PANDEMIC PUTS 100 MILLION TOURISM JOBS AT RISK: UN REPORT

LA PANDEMIA PONE EN RIESGO 100 MILLONES DE EMPLEOS EN EL SECTOR TURÍSTICO

presas y los trabajadores".

En un mensaje con motivo de la publicación del informe, el secretario general de las Naciones Unidas, António Guterres, recordó que el turismo es uno de los sectores económicos más importantes del mundo que emplea a una de cada diez personas y abastece a cientos de millones más, además de impulsar las economías y permitir que los países prosperen.

he United Nations presented on Tuesday their report: 'Tourism and Covid-19', which predicts that up to 100 million jobs could be lost within the tourism sector as a result of the pandemic, and could lead to a 2.8 per cent drop in gross domestic product (GDP).

The document also warns of the short and longterm consequences of governments adopting unilateral decisions, including possible negative impacts on recovery efforts and consumer trust in international tourism.

Guterres dijo que la crisis es "un gran shock" para las economías desarrolladas y que "para los países en desarrollo, es una emergencia, particularmente para muchos pequeños estados insulares en desarrollo y países africanos".

The UN urged countries to intensify international cooperation on travel restrictions and border management.

The report, authored by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), one of the United Nations' specialized agencies, notes that, as countries gradually remove travel restrictions and the sector slowly reboots, health must remain a priority.

Therefore, coordinated protocols must be established to "protect workers, communities and travelers, while supporting companies and workers".

In a message on the occasion of the publication of the report, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, António Guterres, recalled that tourism is one of the most important economic sectors in the world that employs one in ten people and provides for hundreds of millions more, in addition to boosting economies and allowing countries to prosper.

Guterres said the crisis is "a major shock" for developed economies and that "for developing countries, it is an emergency, particularly for many small island developing states and African countries”.

Global flows of foreign direct investment are expected to decline by as much as 40% in 2020, and developed countries will also suffer.

International tourist arrivals, which reached 1.5 billion in 2019 (another 9 billion people travelled within their countries), could fall by between 58 per cent and 78 per cent in 2020.

This puts up to 100 million direct jobs in tourism at risk.

Tourism spending could decrease between 910 billion and 1.2 trillion dollars, which would plummet the GDP between 1.5% and 2.8%.

Small businesses, which support 80 per cent of world tourism, are particularly vulnerable.

Women and the young population, between the ages of 15 and 24, are the groups with the highest representation in the sector, with 54% and 21%, respectively, and therefore most at risk.

Tourism is also a key pillar for the conservation of natural and cultural heritage and the sudden drop in income has led to an increase in poaching and the destruction of habitats in and around protected areas.

Seven per cent of world tourism is related to wildlife, a segment that grows by three per cent annually.

In many African destinations, wildlife accounts for up to 80 per cent of visits, and in some small island developing countries, tourism revenues also fund marine conservation efforts.

90 per cent of countries have closed world heritage sites, with socio-economic consequences for communities that depend on tourism, and 90 per cent of museums (85,000) closed during the crisis and it is estimated that 13 per cent of those

may never reopen.

To help with recovery, the report pushes countries to mitigate the socio-economic impacts of the crisis, in particular women's employment and economic security, maximizing the use of technology in the sector - including investment in digital skills, especially for the unemployed.

The report promotes competitiveness and resilience throughout the tourism value chain, supporting the development of tourism infrastructures and quality services.

It suggests that boosting sustainability is necessary, as well as the formation and coordination of alliances to restart and transform the sector to achieve Sustainable Development Goals; "ensuring tourism’s restart and recovery puts people first and work together to ease and lift travel restrictions in a responsible and coordinated manner".

"The crisis is an opportunity to rethink how tourism interacts with our societies, other economic sectors and our natural resources and ecosystems; to measure and manage it better; to ensure a fair distribution of its benefits and to advance the transition towards a carbon neutral and resilient tourism economy," the report reads.

aciones Unidas presentó este martes su informe: 'Turismo y Covid-19', que pronostica que se podrían perder hasta 100 millones de puestos de trabajo dentro del sector turístico como consecuencia de la pandemia, y podría conducir a un 2.8 caída porcentual del producto interior bruto (PIB).

El documento también advierte sobre las consecuencias a corto y largo plazo de la adopción de decisiones unilaterales por parte de los gobiernos, incluidos los posibles impactos negativos en los esfuerzos de recuperación y la confianza de los consumidores en el turismo internacional.

La ONU instó a los países a intensificar la cooperación internacional sobre restricciones de viaje y gestión de fronteras.

El informe, elaborado por la Organización Mundial del Turismo (OMT), una de las agencias especializadas de las Naciones Unidas, señala que, a medida que los países eliminan gradualmente las restricciones de viaje y el sector se reinicia lentamente, la salud debe seguir siendo una prioridad.

Por tanto, se deben establecer protocolos coordinados para "proteger a los trabajadores, las comunidades y los viajeros, mientras se apoya a las em-

Las llegadas de turistas internacionales, que alcanzaron los 1.500 millones en 2019 (otros 9.000 millones de personas viajaron dentro de sus países), podrían caer entre un 58% y un 78% en 2020.

Esto pone en riesgo hasta 100 millones de empleos directos en el turismo.

El gasto en turismo podría disminuir entre 910 mil millones y 1,2 billones de dólares, lo que hundiría el PIB entre 1,5% y 2,8%.

Las pequeñas empresas, que sustentan el 80 por ciento del turismo mundial, son particularmente vulnerables.

Las mujeres y la población joven, entre 15 y 24 años, son los grupos con mayor representación en el sector, con 54% y 21%, respectivamente, y por tanto, con mayor riesgo.

El turismo también es un pilar clave para la conservación del patrimonio natural y cultural y la repentina caída de los ingresos ha provocado un aumento de la caza furtiva y la destrucción de hábitats en las áreas protegidas y sus alrededores.

El siete por ciento del turismo mundial está relacionado con la vida silvestre, un segmento que crece un tres por ciento anualmente.

En muchos destinos africanos, la vida silvestre representa hasta el 80% de las visitas, y en algunos pequeños países insulares en desarrollo, los ingresos del turismo también financian los esfuerzos de conservación marina.

El 90 por ciento de los países han cerrado sitios del patrimonio mundial, con consecuencias socioeconómicas para las comunidades que dependen del turismo, y el 90 por ciento de los museos (85.000) cerraron durante la crisis y se estima que el 13 por ciento de ellos nunca volverán a abrir.

Para ayudar con la recuperación, el informe impulsa a los países a mitigar los impactos socioeconómicos de la crisis, en particular el empleo de las mujeres y la seguridad económica, maximizando el uso de la tecnología en el sector, incluida la inversión en habilidades digitales, especialmente para los desempleados.

El informe promueve la competitividad y la resiliencia en toda la cadena de valor del turismo, apoyando el desarrollo de infraestructuras turísticas y servicios de calidad.

Sugiere que es necesario impulsar la sostenibilidad, así como la formación y coordinación de alianzas para reiniciar y transformar el sector para alcanzar los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible; "garantizar el reinicio y la recuperación del turismo pone a las personas en primer lugar y trabajan juntos para aliviar y eliminar las restricciones de viaje de una manera responsable y coordinada".

"La crisis es una oportunidad para repensar cómo el turismo interactúa con nuestras sociedades, otros sectores económicos y nuestros recursos naturales y ecosistemas; para medirlo y gestionarlo mejor; para asegurar una distribución justa de sus beneficios y para avanzar en la transición hacia un carbono neutral y economía turística resiliente ", se lee en el informe.

iertamente es cierto que mover más de nuestra infraestructura, y mucho menos espacio de trabajo y vivienda, bajo tierra aliviaría parte de la presión que nuestro desarrollo y habitación convencional sobre el suelo ejerce sobre el medio ambiente. Si bien construir debajo de la superficie presenta su propio conjunto de desafíos, los espacios subterráneos son menos susceptibles a las influencias externas y su impacto general (incluidas las emisiones de carbono) tiende a ser menor que la cantidad equivalente de espacio sobre el suelo. De hecho, dados los problemas ambientales que estamos experimentando, mover más debajo de la superficie tiene el potencial de hacer las cosas más seguras, más saludables y sostenibles para todos nosotros.

En sí mismos, los edificios subterráneos tienen una ventaja incorporada con respecto al uso de energía para calefacción / refrigeración, dada su temperatura, humedad, aislamiento térmico, sombreado y estanqueidad típicamente más constantes. Además, los edificios subterráneos se ven mucho menos afectados por el viento, la lluvia, las heladas, la nieve, la radiación solar u otras condiciones externas.

Al mismo tiempo, el rango de fluctuación de temperatura del espacio subterráneo es pequeño, especialmente en comparación con la "carga de frío y calor" en los edificios sobre el suelo. En resumen, los edificios subterráneos usan solo una fracción de la energía requerida por los edificios convencionales para mantener el ambiente interior cómodo, con la mayor parte del consumo de energía concentrado en sistemas de iluminación y ventilación que consumen menos energía.

Más allá de ser mejor para el planeta en algunos aspectos en comparación con los edificios sobre el suelo, solo tener algunos edificios subterráneos en la mezcla, incluso por debajo de las ciudades normales, podría generar grandes beneficios. “Las soluciones subterráneas pueden resolver o ayudar a mejorar varios de los problemas que enfrentan los desarrollos urbanos: congestión del tráfico; problemas ambientales; falta de espacio (verde); necesidad de protección contra desastres; falta de infraestructura para alimentos, energía, agua y saneamiento ”, informa el

investigador holandés Wout Broere.

“La colocación de infraestructura y otras instalaciones bajo tierra presenta una oportunidad para realizar nuevas funciones en áreas urbanas sin destruir patrimonios o impactar negativamente el medio ambiente superficial, y al mismo tiempo brinda oportunidades para mejoras a largo plazo en el impacto ambiental de las ciudades y un uso más eficiente de espacio y recursos ”, añade Broere.

Muchas ciudades de todo el mundo, desde Helsinki hasta Moscú, desde Montreal hasta Beijing, están desarrollando espacios subterráneos para aliviar la población y las presiones ambientales. Helsinki, por ejemplo, ha adoptado un "Plan de la ciudad subterránea" estratégico que exige la construcción de unos 200 edificios subterráneos más para acompañar el complejo de natación subterráneo existente de la ciudad, la zona comercial y la pista de hockey.

Mientras tanto, los desarrolladores rusos están convirtiendo un pozo de mina de 550 metros de profundidad en el este de Siberia en una ciudad subterránea ecológica bajo una enorme cúpula de vidrio. El ambicioso proyecto, repleto de granjas verticales, bosques y áreas de recreación, además de oficinas y viviendas subterráneas con clima controlado, promete albergar eventualmente a 100,000 residentes.

Si bien muchos de nosotros nos estremecemos ante la idea de vivir un estilo de vida subterráneo, al menos hacer que la opción esté disponible para quienes la elijan voluntariamente podría ser una gran victoria para el medio ambiente.

t’s certainly true that moving more of our infrastructure, let alone work and live space, underground would relieve some of the pressure that our conventional above-ground development and habitation puts on the environment. While building below the surface presents its own set of challenges, underground spaces are less susceptible to external influences and their overall impact (including carbon emissions) tends to be less than the equivalent amount of space above ground.

Indeed, given the environmental problems we’re experiencing, moving more below the surface does indeed have the potential to make things safer, healthier and more sustainable for all of us.

In and of themselves, underground buildings have a built-in advantage in regard to energy usage for heating/cooling, given their typically more constant temperature, humidity, heat insulation, shading and airtightness. Furthermore, underground buildings are much less affected by wind, rain, frost, snow, sun radiation or other external conditions. At the same time, the temperature fluctuation range of underground space is small, especially as compared to the “hot-and-cold load” in aboveground buildings. In short, underground buildings use only a fraction of the energy required by conventional buildings to keep the interior environment comfortable, with most of the energy consumption concentrated instead on less power-intensive lighting and ventilation systems.

Beyond being better for the planet in some ways as compared to above-ground buildings, just having some underground buildings in the mix—even below regular cities—could yield vast benefits. “Underground solutions can solve or help improve multiple of the problems that urban developments face: traffic congestion; environmental problems; lack of (green) space; need for protection against disasters; lack of infrastructure for food, energy, water and sanitation,” reports Dutch researcher Wout Broere.

“Placement of infrastructure and other facilities underground presents an opportunity for realizing new functions in urban areas without destroying heritages or negatively impacting the surface environment, and at the same time brings opportunities for long-term improvements in the environmental impact of cities and more efficient use of space and resources,” adds Broere.

Many cities around the world—from Helsinki to Moscow to Montreal to Beijing—are developing underground space to alleviate population and environmental pressures. Helsinki, for instance, has adopted a strategic ‘Underground City Plan’ which calls for the construction of some 200 more underground buildings there to accompany the city’s existing subterranean swimming complex, shopping area, and hockey rink.

Meanwhile, Russian developers are converting a defunct 550-meter-deep mine shaft in Eastern Siberia into an eco-friendly underground city under a huge glass dome. The ambitious project—replete with vertical farms, forests and recreation areas in addition to climate controlled underground offices and housing—promises to eventually accommodate 100,000 residents.

While many of us shudder at the thought of living a subterranean lifestyle, at least making the option available to those who choose it willingly could be a big win for the environment.

Judge of the Superior Court August 28, September 4, 11, 18, 2020 Notice of Petition to Administer Estate of Cora Bertha Tillman Case No. 20PR188493 1. To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may be interested in the will or estate, or both, of Cora Bertha Tillman. 2. A Petition for Probate has been filed by Samantha Tillman in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara. 3.

The Petition for Probate requests that Samantha Tillman be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. 5.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. 6. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: September 16, 2020, at 9:01am, Dept. 13, located at 191 North First Street, San Jose, CA 95113.

7. If you object to the granting of this petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. 8. If you are a creditor or contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either: 1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or 2) 60

days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. 9. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

A Petition for Probate has been filed by Tammy Edison in the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara. 3.

The Petition for Probate requests that Tammy Edison be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. 4. The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and

any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. 5.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. 6.

Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. 8. If you are a creditor or contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either: 1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or 2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. 9. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special

Notice form is available from the court clerk.
