Climate and Health Research: How have extreme weather and natural disasters affected human health in New York State?  

Presenter: Dr. Shao Lin, University at Albany, School of Public Health, Climate and Health Research

We will describe the results of our multiple projects assessing whether extreme heat and cold affect multiple health outcomes and their vulnerabilities. We will also discuss how natural disaster such as Hurricane Sandy affected human health in NY. Finally, the strategies and activities of translating research findings to public health practice will be highlighted.

Following the webinar, participants will be able to

·         Discuss the research findings of the effects of extreme weather and natural disaster on human health

·         Identify population vulnerability to extreme weather events and climate change

·         Develop evidence-based interventions based on research findings

Integrating Climate and Public Health Data into the Hazard Vulnerability Analysis Process

Presenter: Elena Grossman, University of Illinois at Chicago, BRACE-Illinois Project

The Illinois Department of Public Health updated the Public Health Emergency Preparedness grant language, which is issued to all local health departments and resource hospitals, requiring all grantees to address the possibility that extreme weather events will become more frequent and severe in their Hazard Vulnerability Analysis (HVA).  Building Resilience Against Climate Effects (BRACE) Illinois Project developed guidelines to assist local health departments in fulfilling this new requirement.  This webinar will describe the guidelines on how local health departments can incorporate climate change into the HVA process and assess these new risks and vulnerabilities to the public health system.

Following the webinar, participants will be able to

·         Describe how climate change is altering the way emergency preparedness is conducted

·         Explain how local health departments can incorporate climate change into the Hazard Vulnerability Analysis  process
