Ep. 21 - What Happens to Your Water During a Hurricane?
As hurricane season approaches, access to clean drinking water becomes one of the most overlooked essentials. On this episode of The Palm Beach Current, host Chris sits down with Jeff Szur, founder and CEO of Altitude Water, to explore how innovative atmospheric water technology is changing the way communities prepare for natural disasters.
Jeff shares how Altitude Water's systems create clean, mineralized drinking water directly from the air, providing families, businesses, and disaster relief organizations with water independence when traditional infrastructure fails. From supporting communities in Maui after the wildfires to bringing clean water to villages across Africa and developing hurricane response solutions throughout Florida, Jeff explains the science behind atmospheric water generation and why preparation—not reaction—is the key to staying safe.
The conversation also covers practical hurricane preparedness tips, the importance of community during emergencies, the future of sustainable water technology, and how American-made innovation is helping solve one of the world's most critical challenges.
Whether you're preparing for storm season, interested in sustainability, or simply curious about the future of clean water, this episode offers an eye-opening look at one of our planet's most valuable resources.
