City of Post still battling water issues By Blair Sabol | February 22, 2021 at 11:12 PM CST - Updated February 23 at 8:09 AM
POST, Texas (KCBD) - The city of Post has now been without water for more than three days.
It’s the longest they have been without, emergency management coordinator of Garza County, Michael Isbell, said.
“It was a shock to everybody, it’s a tough situation to be in,” he said.
“The last 72 hours have been pretty rough, ever since the freeze hit. We’ve got a house on the north end of town and all the lines are froze up,” longtime Post resident Gerald Seals said. “Haven’t been able to take a shower in the last three to four days.”
In Arizona, the population of adults aged 65 and older is expected to increase by 174% by 2050. As this demographic surges, health advocates and professionals want to help older adults and community members prepare and educate themselves on one of the major issues plaguing Arizonaâs older populations: falls.Â
According to Lee Itule-Klasen, a co-lead for the Southern chapter of the Arizona Falls Prevention Coalition, the data on falls is relatively limited but the state is seeing high fall mortality rates and thousands of emergency room visits. In 2018, it was the leading cause of injury-related death for people ages 65 and older and medical costs associated with falls added up to more than $900 million annually in Arizona, Itule-Klasen explained. Arizonaâs fall-related deaths per 100,000 people were 84 in 2018, which was higher than the national average according to the Centers for Disease Control.Â
