As extreme weather events become more frequent, CenterPoint Energy announced June 1 that it is expanding its storm preparedness efforts through a partnership with Technosylva, a provider of weather, wildfire and flood modeling software.

Quote of note: “Preparing for extreme weather today requires earlier insight and better coordination than ever before,” said Jason Wells, chair, president and chief executive officer of CenterPoint Energy. “Our goal is to build the most resilient coastal grid in the nation to benefit our customers and communities.”

The overview: Technosylva's platform combines outage forecasting, storm modeling, flood risk analysis and wildfire monitoring into a single system. According to a news release from CenterPoint, the platform helps teams track weather conditions several days in advance, position crews and equipment before storms arrive and improve restoration planning. The National Weather Service forecasts eight to 14 named storms in the Atlantic basin this season, including three to six hurricanes, according to CenterPoint.

The Houston Food Bank will kick off its Summer Food Service Program starting June 8 to help connect children and students with free, healthy meals over the summer.

Why it matters: The Texas Department of Agriculture administers the program to ensure that children who rely on school meals during the academic year continue to receive a "source of good nutrition" during the long summer break, according to a May 26 news release.

“One in five children in Houston Food Bank’s 18-county service area experiences food insecurity, which means they don’t have consistent access to nutritious food,” said Brian Greene, president and CEO of Houston Food Bank. “In order to address this issue, the Houston Food Bank distributes meals to children through community partners during the school year as well as the summer."

How it works: The Summer Food Service Program will run from June 8 through Aug. 7. Any child from the community can receive a meal at any of the food bank's participating sites, per the release.

Meals are on a first-come, first-served basis.
