Building Resilience Against Climate Effects in Vermont Nate Schafrick, MPH/MS, Climate Change Epidemiologist Vermont Department of Health January 26, 2016

Outline Six key areas for climate and health Extreme heat Extreme weather (storms, flooding, etc.) Vector-borne diseases (mosquitoes and ticks) Blue-green algae Food and water-borne diseases Air quality Also mental health, food insecurity, population dislocation, civil conflict 2

Our analysis of climate and health risks Daily risk examples Temperature and heat illness Precipitation, water quality, and GI illness Seasonal risk examples: Vector-borne diseases and climate Particulate matter from wood-burning in winter

Vermont’s Online Tools Blue-green algae tracker Tick tracker Heat vulnerability index Social vulnerability index

Blue-green Algae Tracker

Tick Tracker

Social Vulnerability Index

EPA AirNow

What we need An online portal/tool to bring together these tools and analytical relationships between climate, weather, and health into a single weather/climate risk assessment portal Goals: Educate on how climate, seasonality, and weather affect health risks Convey how climate change is expected to modify risk in the future Give practical guidance on how to reduce risks
