In order to save lives, researchers found the need to rely on many elements that are not used right now, including improvising and neighbors helping neighbors, Tom Cova said.
Cova is one of the authors of the study, as well as a professor in the Department of Geography for the University of Utah.

RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - Three fluffy chicks appeared on the Richmond Falcon Cam overnight.
The first look came around 6 a.m. Monday morning after the first two hatched. Based on the fluffy, dried appearance of their downs, officials estimate the chicks hatched sometime overnight.
Just after 6:30 a.m., a third chick was seen when the adult falcon stood to inspect it. Unlike the other two chicks, this one had lots of pink skin exposed. Soon after, once it dried out, it looked just like its fluffy siblings.
