Beyond Alerts: Using Heat-Health Data to Inform Local Action (virtual)
April 29 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
The Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) in partnership with the Center for Climate and Health at Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH), will be hosting a regional symposium titled Fostering Collaborations: A Symposium to Advance Equitable Heat Health Actions on June 18, 2025. Additional information is coming soon, and we encourage you to subscribe to the event email list to be among the first to know!
The symposium will aim to engage with and foster constructive dialogue among key stakeholders across sectors.
To help inform the content of the Symposium, we want to hear from you!
During this virtual conversation, we will explore data showing the relationship between heat events and Emergency Department (ED) visits in our region and discuss how this evidence can strengthen your municipality’s heat emergency response systems, and will inform research on developing health-informed heat thresholds in our region.
Co-hosts: Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC), Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH), Mystic River Watershed Association (MyRWA), and the Resilient Mystic Collaborative (RMC).
