Summer has Arrived! Learn More About How to Protect Yourself and Others From Heat Here:

The Bureau of Climate and Environmental Health (BCEH), in collaboration with the Office of Preparedness and Emergency Management (OPEM) and the Office of Local and Regional Health (OLRH), is excited to announce the launch of the Heat Education and Alert Tools (HEAT) response. This initiative aims to increase awareness of climate change and extreme heat, enhance preparedness for extreme heat events, and improve our collective response to these health hazards. The initiative will use the new CDC/NOAA NWS HeatRisk Tool to provide timely and accurate extreme heat forecast information. Unlike other alert systems, the new CDC/NOAA tool synthesizes health, heat, socio-demographic, and natural/built environment data to forecast community heat risk.
