August Newsletter Released: Wildfires
The frequency and intensity of Canadian wildfires is increasing as a consequence of the changing global climate, as well as long-standing forest management practices. The NCCEH has assembled a collection of resources intended to assist public health practitioners, decision-makers, and the public with guidance regarding public health impacts, community preparedness, risk communication and response to wildfires and wildfire smoke.
The August 2018 newsletter introduces:
- a new Wildfire Smoke topic page that lists over 2 dozen fire related resources
- a new evidence review from Health Canada titled Public Health Responses to Wildfire Smoke Events
- a new Indigenous Disaster Response topic page
