Meeting Objective

The Southwest Drought and Human Health Workshop will be tailored around regional drought-related human health impacts, and the workshop will also help identify gaps and needs, collaborative opportunities, and ways to integrate the health sector into the DEWS. NIDIS is co-hosting the Drought and Human Health Workshop with the University of Nebraska Medical Center, and the University of Arizona Center for Climate Adaptation Science and Solutions. The audience for this workshop will be state and local public health departments, climate scientists, emergency managers, tribal communities, and healthcare providers.
