Extreme Weather and Climate Readiness: A toolkit for State and Territorial Health Departments

Abstract

The toolkit outlines a comprehensive approach to integrating climate readiness into all policies and programs. It is divided into seven thematic content areas, all of which are likely to address elements of multiple departments, and, possibly, programs in multiple agencies. Key program areas – such as chronic disease and health equity- that are relevant to most or all public health activities are cross-referenced throughout the toolkit.
