    Scoping the public health response to drought
    Speakers: Dr. Angela Eykelbosh, Nancy Clements
    Climate-driven changes in annual maximum temperatures, precipitation patterns, snow accumulation, and glacier loss have elevated the risk of drought across Canada. Although drought discussions typically focus on easily identifiable impacts, such as water shortages, crop losses, and food availability, the public health impacts are far more wide-ranging. This webinar will share some of the work underway at Island Health to both understand the broad scope of drought impacts on public health and the ways in which public health practice could expand or adapt to meet the needs of future populations.
