Heat Is a Mass Casualty Event | Spokane News

Extreme heat is killing people and overwhelming hospitals — not with sirens or smoke, but with silent, creeping danger. A trauma surgeon in Baltimore witnessed a death simply because the air was too hot, highlighting how deadly heat can be. Unlike hurricanes or shootings, heat builds up slowly, catching hospitals off guard. While we have surge plans for sudden disasters, we’re only activating them after the heat has already flooded ERs with patients. Meteorologists can predict dangerous heat days in advance — we just need to act on it. Hospitals already know how to prepare: bring in staff, postpone surgeries, stock cooling gear and chilled IVs. The time to act is before the first patient arrives. As extreme weather becomes more common, heat-related hospital visits will rise — and we must treat it like the predictable mass casualty event it is.

Washington’s Education Freedom Decision | Spokane News

A new federal program could unlock hundreds of millions in tax credits for Washington families to fund student education—school supplies, tutoring, even private school tuition—but only if Governor Bob Ferguson enrolls the state by 2027. While 29 other states have already signed on, Washington is waiting for final rules before deciding. Supporters say it’s a powerful tool to expand educational choice and boost public schools through indirect funding, while critics fear it’s a disguised voucher program that could drain resources from public schools. The catch? Scholarships are capped at $1,700 per student, and eligibility depends on family income and nonprofit participation—plus, there’s still uncertainty about cross-state use, especially for students near Idaho. With the deadline looming, Ferguson must weigh big potential benefits against looming risks. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
