Heat poses a significant threat to our health and well-being. As North Carolina summers become warmer and longer with high numbers of extremely hot days and warm nights, community leaders are asking for ways to prepare. Join us for an introductory webinar where we will explore North Carolina's changing temperatures, the dangers of extreme heat to human health, evidence-based strategies for preventing heat-related illnesses, how communities in NC are already preparing, and how the state government can help.
Ashley Ward, director of the Heat Policy Innovation Hub at the Nicholas Institute, will share insights during the webinar alongside speakers from the State Climate Office of North Carolina, the NOAA Carolinas Climate Adaptation Partnership, Chatham County Public Health Department, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services Division of Public Health and the North Carolina Office of Recovery and Resiliency.
