from Viewpoints Radio · host Evan Rook, Gary Price, Marty Peterson, Ebony McMorris | AURN

In this segment, experts Tom Parsons and Pietro Teatini break down what’s causing the ground to drop, why it’s happening faster in some places than others, and what can be done to slow or manage the damage before it’s too late.
