Test a New Virtual Tool: Plan and Implement Protective Extreme Heat Interventions

Join NACCHO and the University of Washington REACH Center for a free webinar about CHaRT, a tool to reduce health risks associated with extreme heat. CHaRT can be used by local health departments to assess and plan for extreme heat events in the regions they serve. CHaRT is an online tool that provides data on heat-health risks at a local scale for both historical and future conditions. It can provide tailored risk reduction activities based on local factors, and information about the efficacy, timing and cost of each intervention. At the webinar, presenter Jeremy Hess will discuss an opportunity for health departments to participate in a research trial on CHaRT. The research trial will help UW researchers learn more about the tool’s effectiveness in helping local health departments prepare for heat.
