Desert Crisis? Coming back? Oh yes, it's true. desertcrisis.net has everything you need to start playing this amazing mod again! Never played it before? Now's the perfect time to try it out!

I've gotten tired of not being able to reliably find games for old Gold Source (GoldSrc, HL1, Half Life 1) mods or Source (Half Life 2, HL2) mods, so I made a discord about just that. I am also trying to make this place an informational hub. I'm trying to centralize and unite the multiplayer mod communities for all of the various multiplayer mods out there. We play a mod of the week every Friday/Saturday.

This is a combination formula to facilitate appropriate response in any crisis situation. It helps us to be able to emerge from the belief that there are no choices. The Chinese hexagram for crisis is composed of two characters: danger and opportunity. The Crisis Formula supports our ability to stay present in apparent danger for the opportunity. This is a universal formula appropriate for any situation.

With the tremendous support of resource partners, FAO has made great strides against the worst desert locust upsurge to hit the Greater Horn of Africa and Yemen in decades. Now, we can finally say that the upsurge has come to an end.

The devastating impact of the upsurge on livelihoods was in turn mitigated through a combination of in-kind and/or cash support; over 305 000 households were supported by FAO and an additional 300 000 by non-governmental organizations, providing approximately 3 million people with the means to meet their immediate needs and to restore their productive capacity.

In late 2019, a massive outbreak of desert locusts swept across the greater Horn of Africa and Yemen. This infographic outlines the actions FAO and partners took to avert a disaster, and showcases the impacts and results of the early, scaled up action.

Where You Live Matters: Maternity Care Deserts and the Crisis of Access and Equity is a set of 52 comprehensive reports examining maternity care deserts and other factors that impact access to care, health outcomes, and unique barriers for all families in each state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

Since 2018, March of Dimes has published data on maternity care deserts across the U.S., highlighting areas with inequitable access to maternity care providers and birthing facilities. These reports represent some of the most comprehensive analyses of its kind looking at maternity care access, examining data beyond maternity care deserts, and other key issues impacting access to care and maternal health outcomes. The data consistently shows that access to maternity care continues to decline, and more resources are needed to make maternal health a priority.

Food insecurity affects many Americans in communities throughout the country. Although food insecurity occurs for a number of reasons, one cause is a lack of access to food, particularly fresh fruits and vegetables, despite having the means to buy it.

According to the USDA, a food desert occurs when more than 33% of the population in urban spaces is further than one mile from a supermarket. In a rural setting, 33% of people must be more than 10 miles from a supermarket. By this standard, over 18 million people lived in food deserts in 2019.

Groups tackling food insecurity, like the Food Empowerment Project, note that lack of access to food goes beyond the distance a family lives from the grocery store. Lack of public transit to get to a grocery store, understocked stores and high food prices all contribute to difficulty accessing food.

In both environments, food deserts limit access to healthy foods, including fruits, vegetables and whole grains. This could be due to the driving distance to a supermarket which becomes more challenging for households without cars. Access to healthy food could also be reduced by the lack of options in stores and high prices. With a limited supply, the cost of fresh foods can be prohibitively high for low-income families.

The stores and restaurants that do exist in food deserts often have more limited choices. Stores selling groceries in a food desert are more likely to be convenience stores or dollar stores, which offer limited selections because they are more willing to operate in areas with lower economic activity and population density. These stores require less space and investment compared to full-scale grocery stores, making them more feasible in such areas.

Some of these stores may not carry fresh fruits and vegetables or they might only offer single-serve items that are not cost-effective. The lack of selection can also make it difficult to meet dietary restrictions. Food deserts restrict choices for vegetarians, vegans and those who are dairy-free, gluten-free, kosher or halal.

In addition to food insecurity, health issues are one of the most pressing concerns for those living in food deserts. Because of the prevalence of convenience stores and fast food restaurants in these areas, processed foods are easier and cheaper to obtain. This results in diets that are high in fats, salt and sugar while also low in nutrients.

This diet contributes to an increased risk of obesity, diabetes, hypertension and other health challenges. The lack of essential nutrients can cause fatigue, depression and delayed growth. Poor nutrition also correlates to a higher chance of complications during pregnancy.

The past few years have seen many changes in food availability and cost around the country. Frequent supply chain interruptions have resulted in shortages. Rapid inflation has increased grocery prices dramatically, causing homes to cut back on unnecessary spending. Online ordering, faster shipping and emerging delivery services have also changed how people shop.

Food shortages and increasing prices have put additional strain on the already limited resources in food deserts. Meanwhile, the convenience of online shopping and delivery has not offset the challenges of food deserts. In rural areas, grocery delivery is not widely available. Where it is available, the extra cost of shipping or delivery often makes it inaccessible.

Many Americans are turning towards food preservation methods to reduce their grocery bill and number of trips to the store. Buying frozen fruits and vegetables makes it easier to get essential nutrients. Canned vegetables are a cheaper alternative to fresh vegetables that still provide essential nutrients.

You can also buy produce in season and freeze it yourself. Freezing foods makes it possible to buy fruits, veggies, meat, bread and other staples in bulk. It is even possible to freeze raw eggs. When financially possible, buying in bulk and freezing extra lets households keep nutritious food on hand without requiring multiple grocery store trips.

Creating and contributing to food pantries is another way to lessen food insecurity for low-income households in a food desert. Where supermarkets are scarce, food pantries tend to be limited as well.

Food deserts remain a pressing issue in neighborhoods across America. As grocery prices have risen everywhere and supermarket companies are seeking to cut costs, stores have become inaccessible in many rural towns. In traditionally underserved minority communities, increasing costs and supply chain challenges have made the existing problem worse.

There are short-term solutions like planting gardens and freezing bulk purchases, but solving this crisis will require more sweeping policy changes and cultural shifts. Awareness of the challenges associated with food deserts and how widespread the problem is creates pressure to make those changes and support people around the country.
