HSP.1.2.BPartner with local and regional health and emergency services (EMTs, fire, police, hospitals, health care centers) to track and report on vector borne diseases and climate-related health incidents, and provide comprehensive training on climate-related health risks, particularly among vulnerable populations.

Climate change can expand the range and seasonality of vector-borne diseases (like those transmitted by ticks and mosquitoes) and increase health risks from heat, flooding, and air quality events. This action builds a coordinated approach among local and regional health and emergency service partners to track and report health incidents, identify emerging risks, and deliver training on climate-related health impacts—especially for vulnerable populations. Better data and training improve preparedness and response, enabling earlier interventions and more targeted public health messaging. Success looks like consistent reporting protocols, improved situational awareness during climate events, trained frontline personnel, and stronger prevention strategies informed by local trends.
