> May 26 White House Webinar: Building Community Preparedness to Extreme Heat
> On May 26, 2016 at 2pm EDT, the National Security Council and the Office of Science and Technology Policy will sponsor a webinar focused on building community preparedness to extreme heat as part of FEMA’s PrepareAthon Extreme Heat Week. NOAA (CPO and NWS), CDC, FEMA, DOD, OSHA, SAMHSA, ASPR, NIH, and EPA have planned the webinar, which will provide background information on extreme heat risk, communicate available resources, and include guest speakers who will address activities to counter the effects of heat. At risk populations such as athletes, the elderly, outdoor workers, and emergency responders will be discussed at length, and the webinar will highlight actions that individuals, caregivers, public health officials, and others can take to prepare for extreme heat events and protect the public - including those at greatest risk. The webinar will also serve to highlight the interagency information available on the National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS) <http://dmanalytics2.com/click?u=http%3A%2F%2Fclimate.gov%2Fnihhis&i=2&d=BxoHIKcGRTawH4d40BaipQ&e=michael.d.mcdonald%40me.com&a=HXMQ6U-RSOuU7mfDrC0X0g>.
