National Integrated Heat Health Information System

NIDIS and NIHHIS are working together to inform Congress, the media, and other stakeholders how worsening drought and heat conditions are severely impacting communities in the West and Southern Plains.

This Sunday, August 7th, volunteers in Montgomery County, MD will participate in the National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS) “Urban Heat Mapping Campaign''. The data gathered will inform solutions to combat extreme heat impacts in the county.

Beginning on August 24th, this webinar series aims to increase awareness of at-risk populations that are typically overlooked and overburdened by extreme heat, create a space for discussions about vulnerability in a judgment free environment, and collect and share resources and ideas for addressing heat risk.

On July 26th, the National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS) launched a new portal, Heat.gov, to provide the public and community decision makers with clear, timely, and science-based information to understand and reduce the health risks of extreme heat.

CPO’s Hunter Jones will serve as a panelist on the White House’s Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) and the General Services Administration (GSA) Open Innovation Forum on Building Equitable Partnerships.
