Stormy weather causes ceiling collapse in Hallandale Beach apartment

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:03:50 GMT

A resident called the Hallandale Beach Police Department and Broward Sheriff’s Office Fire Rescue after coming home to her ceiling on the floor.Stephanie Conte found debris all around inside her home around 6 p.m. on Monday. She said that Fire Rescue told her the cause for the collapse was structural. Though she was told not to stay there, she said she has no other choice. “Kitchen area is hanging, this has been hell,” said Conte.

Policymakers, many of whom may not recognize the urgency of CKD, must increase their understanding of what Belgian MEP Hilde Vautmans recently called “the most neglected chronic disease”.3 For example, the EU noncommunicable diseases initiative Healthier Together,launched i...
