New Podcast Episode: How Are Extreme Heat and Drought Affecting Our Community

Despite the recent rains, our region is experiencing some of the most extreme heat and drought conditions we've ever seen. Our latest episode of Your City, Answered breaks down what it means for our community - and how we're working to stay ahead of it.

This week, we talk with Ed Buchan, assistant director of Raleigh Water, and Megan Anderson, sustainability officer, who share how the City monitors water levels, tracks changes in real time, and coordinates long-term strategies to protect the water resources we all depend on.

They also discuss the impact prolonged heat has on our residents - and what each of us can do to help conserve water and stay safe during these unusually intense conditions.
