Event: Protecting Health from Extreme Heat - State Leadership in Action

Extreme heat is now the deadliest weather-related threat in the U.S., and it’s only getting worse. In 2023 alone, an estimated 2,300 people died from extreme heat — but the true toll is likely far higher. Rising temperatures are making people sicker, worsening chronic conditions, and straining already overwhelmed health systems.

Join us for a timely discussion with health leaders and policymakers on how states can lead the way in protecting communities from extreme heat.
