NIHHIS is hosting an international conversation on how met services like NOAA can deliver Integrated Urban Climate Services, as envisioned by the World Meteorological Organization.
The Climate and Health Outlook from HHS & NOAA, which launched on May 6, serves as a resource to help people, health professionals, and communities protect individual and community health impacted by climate events.
The NIHHIS Interagency Communications Group heat season awareness social media campaign is a federal agency collaboration that will provide resources and messages to inform the public about the risk from heat, and to provide actions and prevention measures to decrease their risk to heat.
The meeting brought together federal and global partners to create a shared vision for building resilience to extreme heat events in communities.
NOAA will provide funding to CAPA Strategies to support the Urban Heat Island mapping campaigns, a flagship NIHHIS program, to map the hottest part of communities across the country and internationally. NIHHIS is a featured program of the Climate Program Office.
Americans’ health, security and economic wellbeing are tied to climate and weather. Every day, we see communities grappling with environmental challenges due to unusual or extreme events related to climate and weather.
