Most hospitals don't use local climate change projections into their risk management and planning, according to an article on The Energy Collective website.
Climate change increases the frequency and magnitude of extreme weather events and conditions — such as asthma — likely to increase demand for healthcare.
The Resilient Hospital Dashboard is an interactive platform that enables healthcare networks to identify hotspots, key drivers of risk, and the specific local impacts faced by each of their hospitals.
The dashboard provides hospitals with a way to access and understand climate data relevant to their day-to-day operations and specific to the populations they serve.
