Hurricane Helene caused catastrophic death and destruction in Asheville, NC, and adjacent communities. More than a dozen Locus employees live and work in the area and had their lives turned upside down that day. And as environmental professionals, they had interesting perspectives on the tragedy. Case in point: Locus product manager, Todd Pierce. Todd recorded a vlog to document his parallel insights — as an Asheville resident directly impacted by the damage to infrastructure and water supplies, and as an environmental information management expert with hands-on experience keeping communities informed of their water quality.

This is truly a special edition in our vlog series.
