Conduct education to help residents recognize symptoms, avoid risks, and psychologically cope with climate exposure-related illness (including those related to food/water). Tailor health-related risk messages, materials, and social media/webpages to at-risk individuals with consideration to culture, trusted individuals, and health knowledge. Involve advocacy organizations, service entities and support groups representing at-risk individuals in the design and dissemination of health-related information. PED will work with the Youth, Seniors, and Fire Department using NIHB and other funds to complete this strategy by 2025.
