Geographical Patterns of Heat Illness in the Rural Southeast U.S. and the Factors that Control Its Incidence

Join Virginia Clinicians for Climate Action and its partners at GCCA and NCCCA in the discussion of heat illness with Dr. Chip Konrad, a Professor of Geography at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the Director of the NOAA Southeast Regional Climate Center.

In this free webinar, the nature of heat illness is described across the Southeast U.S. through both the research carried out across urban-rural continuum of North Carolina and the engagement with public health professionals and high school athletic personnel. The geographical patterns of heat illness are unveiled along with the climatic and socioeconomic factors that drive this variation. Lastly, efforts to reduce heat illness in vulnerable populations are delineated.
