State program provides Uber rides for appointments
SUMMARY: The Mississippi State Department of Health has launched a free transportation program to assist patients in reaching County Health departments and pharmacies for medical appointments or prescriptions. Partnering with Uber, the initiative allows adults over 18 to schedule rides at least 30 minutes prior to their appointments, accommodating up to four passengers. Since its inception, 892 rides have been scheduled, with significant usage among university students. However, the program needs more drivers, particularly in rural areas, to expand its reach. Patients can arrange rides in-person or by calling the local Health Department at 601-261-050.

Hurricane hunters order new planes
SUMMARY: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is set to replace its aging WP-3 Orion hurricane hunter aircraft with new C-130J aircraft. These modernized planes will feature advanced avionics, digital displays, and enhanced radar systems, allowing for a comprehensive three-dimensional view of tropical systems. The upgrades support NOAA’s ongoing research efforts in hurricane monitoring. Adjustments will be made for the structural design differences between the P-3s and C-130s, including finding new technology to replace certain radar systems. NOAA has ordered two C-130Js, with an option for four more, aiming to improve hurricane operations and studies, particularly in the Pacific.
