About

These five short videos are in a series on How Climate Affects Community Health and present the challenges of climate-related changes. Individual videos cover extreme heat, storms and flooding, poor air quality, and the spread of disease by insects, ticks, and rodents. Communities can help by setting up cooling centers, planting trees, tracking disease outbreaks, improving infrastructure, and educating people on safety measures during extreme weather events or poor air quality days.
