From Heatwaves to Hurricanes: Extreme Weather’s Disproportionate Impact on Communities

As the effects of climate change become increasingly evident, we are faced with a growing number of extreme weather events such as severe storms, hurricanes, droughts, and flooding. These events have a significant impact on human health, especially in vulnerable communities. In this webinar, Dr. J. Marshall Shepherd, Georgia Athletic Association Distinguished Professor of Geography and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Georgia, will share his insights on the role of meteorologists in climate education and how physicians might collaborate with them to address climate and health equity, particularly in underserved communities and communities of color.
