Get Ready
Climate change is here. On any given week we may experience a major rainstorm with down trees, power outages and blocked roads due to flooding. Or, we battle the effects of a heatwave with extreme temps that present health risks and dangers to the environment.
Advanced planning and preparation helps us weather the effects of our changing climate.
TIPS FOR PLANNING AND PREPARATION
PREPARE FOR THE HEALTH-RELATED IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE
Local weather data shows that the average daily temperature is on the rise, creating a perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes and ticks. Rising pollen and mold also exacerbate asthma and allergies.
