AbstractWater insecurity (WI) is an underappreciated issue in the United States. WI co-occurs with food insecurity (FI), but little work has explored the water–food nexus experienced by children. Drawing on individual tap water avoidance, a proxy of WI, and prior-year household food security data from 2–17-year-olds in the National Health and Examination Survey (n = 18,252), we describe nationally representative trends and racial/ethnic disparities in WI and FI.

When Hurricane Otis smashed into Acapulco, Mexico, in October, the Category 5 storm left a trail of devastation in its wake. Because weather models had predicted that Otis would make landfall as a Category 1 hurricane, mitigation plans for a stronger storm had not been put into place in time. Now authorities estimate that rebuilding the resort city will take years. Less widely known is that the storm will probably also have long-lasting effects on the health of its residents.
