Her Dedication to Lemurs Almost Delayed Her Wedding
In October 2024, Hurricane Milton was the most intense Atlantic hurricane ever recorded over the Gulf of Mexico. Meredith Hinton, Curator at the Lemur Conservation Foundation (LCF) in Myakka City, Florida, had to shift her focus from preparing for her wedding to planning for a possible direct hit by a major hurricane. “I was so much more focused on the needs here than my wedding.”
ZDR3 responds to historic Southern California Wildfires
A catastrophic series of fast-moving wildfires began burning in Southern California on January 7th. The ZDR3 team has been in contact with facilities in the region since the first day of the fires, and will stay in communication with them until the event is finished. At the time of last contact, no facilities in the region were in imminent risk or reporting high levels of need. Since firefighting teams anticipate more wind and dry conditions to continue complicating their efforts to contain the fires into next week, we will remain activated and ready to roll, if needed.
