    Ham radio is alive and well in Clark County

    Imagine this: A major storm has hit Clark County. Thousands of homes are with­out elec­tric­i­ty. Several cell tow­ers have been knocked out. Landlines are down.

    Clark County earns recovery-ready certification

    Clark County has offi­cial­ly been des­ig­nat­ed a Recovery Ready Community, a statewide cer­ti­fi­ca­tion rec­og­niz­ing coun­ties that demon­strate strong, coör­di­nat­ed efforts to pre­vent sub­stance mis­use, expand treat­ment access, and sup­port long‑term recov­ery. The des­ig­na­tion reflects years of col­lab­o­ra­tion among the Agency for Substance Abuse Policy, the Healing Community Study team, local gov­ern­ment, schools, law enforce­ment, treat­ment providers, and the faith com­mu­ni­ty.
