This summary describes the 2022 Jackson Water Crisis, when flooding made Jackson’s water system nearly fail. St. Dominic’s Hospital was ready because of past planning, like building a big water tank and its own well after Hurricane Katrina. The crisis showed how important it is to keep preparing for disasters so the hospital can stay open and help the community in emergencies.
