Event Overview
This is the first of three statewide briefings tracking the onset of extreme heat in California, the most dangerous climate threat, and what state and local agencies, including CBOs, are doing to help people and localities adapt.
Speakers will provide an overview of how state agencies are addressing extreme heat’s impact on public health, the steps one city is taking to mitigate the heat, and what health care providers servicing specific groups are advising their patients to do.
