Wisconsin Climate and Health Profile Report
- Abstract
In 2012, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS), Bureau of Environmental and Occupational Health (BEOH) was awarded a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Building Resilience Against Climate Effects (BRACE) project grant to study and prepare for anticipated climatic effects on the public’s health. The goal of this grant project is to enhance the statewide capacity of DHS to assess, prepare for, and effectively respond to climate and extreme weather events and reduce or prevent related negative health effects to Wisconsin’s citizens. The Wisconsin BRACE program seeks to expand partnerships, provide expertise, foster collaboration, and develop strategies that will address health risk factors realted to severe weather event indicators.
