Monday’s Five Facts
[1] New Mexico’s struggling with an IV fluid shortage; officials think it might ease up – New Mexico hospitals are seeing a shortage of a vital resource because of the continuing impact of hurricane Helene. The New Mexico Department of Health has been working with local hospitals to ease the effects of halted production at Baxter, a saline manufacturer impacted by hurricane Helene. Presbyterian Health Care Services is a New Mexico hospital supplied by Baxter. Presbyterian credited UNMH and St. Vincent for sharing their supplies with their hospitals.
[2] Proposed rules could change how Albuquerque addresses the homeless crisis – Albuquerque city council is scheduled to consider proposals that could lead to changes in how the city deals with homelessness. According to city documents, if approved, one proposal would prohibit camping or setting up tents in public parks, playgrounds or open spaces. Another resolution would make it illegal to possess carts outside of a retailers property.
[3] Precipitation exiting New Mexico & colder air ahead – As the storm system exits to the northeast it’ll be clearer with temperatures rising. Colder and drier air will continue to filtrate in for the next couple of days, leading up into a quick-hitting storm system impacting a few northern areas tomorrow with gusty conditions again, but then, temperatures will rebound later this week with drier air as winds will then let up.
[4] Gathering advocates awareness for domestic violence – Several residents and local organizations came together in northeast Albuquerque to raise awareness about domestic violence. “Stop the Violence, Break the Silence” was hosted near San Mateo and Indian School on Sunday. Organizers said things like this help victims know they are not alone and have a voice. It also allows them to reach the community and raise awareness in general.

Students at NMT are heading research using taxidermized ducks developed drones that can swim.
