Extreme heat events are a growing public health threat. When indoor temperatures rise, people can suffer from potentially deadly illnesses, including heat exhaustion and heat stroke. High indoor temperatures are also associated with reduced air quality, adversely impacting respiratory health. Join the U.S. EPA Indoor Environments Division to learn how indoor environmental management strategies can moderate temperatures indoors during extreme heat events and reduce occupant health risks.
This webinar will highlight considerations for building managers, clinical and public health practitioners, and the public on how to protect communities and those most vulnerable to extreme heat impacts, such as children, aging adults and individuals with certain pre-existing health conditions (e.g., asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [or COPD] and cystic fibrosis).
Learn practical, evidence-based strategies to improve indoor conditions in homes, schools and other commercial buildings and to protect health during extreme heat events.
