National Centers for Environmental Information and CPO lay groundwork for new extreme heat product 8 November 2019

National Centers for Environmental Information and CPO lay groundwork for new extreme heat product

The product will help scientists identify whether an extreme heat event tomorrow is significant or actually “extreme” relative to the historical record. It may also help assess extreme heat impacts on sectors like agriculture, health, and energy.

NIHHIS Heat Health Social Vulnerability Tool Demoed at American Public Health Association (APHA) Annual Meeting 3 November 2019

NIHHIS Heat Health Social Vulnerability Tool Demoed at American Public Health Association (APHA) Annual Meeting

The National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS) Heat Health and Social Vulnerability tool will be demonstrated as part of the American Public Health Association (APHA) Town Hall in Philadelphia, PA on 3 November 2019. At the event, this NIHHIS application, which was developed in partnership with Esri, CDC, and NOAA, will be used as part of a scenario-based demonstration allowing attendees to learn how to apply downscaled climate projections and census-tract level social vulnerability information to understand where at-risk populations may reside, and specifically what risk factors can be targeted with interventions.

Call for Abstracts - 18th Annual Climate Prediction Applications Science Workshop (CPASW)

Due 2 December 2019

Abstracts due 2 December 2020
18th Annual Climate Prediction Applications Science Workshop (CPASW) - April 14-16, 2020
Phoenix, Arizona
www.cpasw2020.com

Integrated theme: “Providing Services for the Cascading Effects of Intensifying Heat in a Rapidly Growing Region”

The 18th Annual Climate Prediction Applications Science Workshop (CPASW) will bring together a diverse community to share developments in research and application of weather and climate information for societal decision-making. Participants will include researchers, service producers, resource managers, planners, practitioners, social scientists, and others making weather and climate-sensitive decisions. NOAA’s National Weather Service Climate Services Branch, Arizona State University, the Arizona State Climate Office, and many climate services partners are collaborating in the organization of the 2020 CPASW.

NIHHIS Featured in NOAA One Health Story Map 7 October 2019

NIHHIS Featured in NOAA One Health Story Map

Released today, NOAA's latest Story Map details the many ways NOAA supports a health nation - "From innovations in managing heat risks and detecting waterborne bacteria, to giving new life to endangered species and driving resilience with high-value environmental data, you’ll see examples from across NOAA on how we continue to push the bounds of scientific understanding to protect our Nation's health." NIHHIS is featured up front.

Heat waves could increase substantially in size by mid-century, says new study 7 October 2019

Heat waves could increase substantially in size by mid-century, says new study

Our planet has been baking under the sun this summer as temperatures reached the hottest ever recorded and heat waves spread across the globe. While the climate continues to warm, scientists expect the frequency and intensity of heat waves to increase. However, a commonly overlooked aspect is the spatial size of heat waves, despite its important implications.

Urban Heat Island Community of Practice Webinar Series continues with "Green Cooling Infrastructure"

Urban Heat Island Community of Practice Webinar Series continues with "Green Cooling Infrastructure"

The National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS) and its partners are hosting a webinar series to feature case studies on what happens after communities conduct their urban heat island mapping campaigns. On September 30th at 3PM EDT, the fifth of the series, "Green Cooling Infrastructure" will take place and will feature communities that have implemented solutions to obtain heat resilience through green infrastructure. The session will highlight case studies from Philadelphia and Pawtucket and explore how they were able to implement green infrastructure, and by doing so, strengthen community cohesion and resilience. The intersection with environmental justice, public health, crime reduction, and equitable approaches to improvements that benefit residents will be threaded throughout the webinar.

Urban Heat Island Community of Practice Webinar Series Continues with "Community Engagement, Outreach, and Education"

The National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS) and its partners are hosting a webinar series to feature community case studies on what happens after Urban Heat Island mapping campaigns are conducted. The sixth of the series, "Investigate Options 4- Community Engagement, Outreach, Education", will take place on October 12th at 4:00 PM EDT and will feature municipalities that have effectively engaged communities, institutions, politicians, and the press to advance heat mitigation efforts. The session will feature three municipality managers from Austin, Cincinnati, and King County, WA, who will explore how they engage in collaborative approaches to urban heat planning, and identify ways that may be helpful for your climate outreach efforts.

About Us

NIHHIS is an integrated information system that builds understanding of the problem of extreme heat, defines demand for climate services that enhance societal resilience, develops science-based products and services from a sustained climate science research program, and improves capacity, communication, and societal understanding of the problem in order to reduce morbidity and mortality due to extreme heat.  NIHHIS is a jointly developed system by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
