In this breakout session, Chris Gloninger will expand on the themes introduced in his plenary, taking a closer look at the impacts of climate change on public health and emergency preparedness. Drawing on his expertise as a meteorologist, Chris will discuss how shifting weather patterns and extreme climate events affect communities, volunteers, and response efforts. Participants will gain deeper insights into the science of climate change, strategies for building climate resilience, and practical approaches to addressing these challenges in their volunteer roles. This interactive session offers a unique opportunity to explore how climate science informs preparedness and response efforts.
