The Pacific Northwest Drought and Human Health Workshop will be held on January 19–20, 2022 at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon. The workshop is tailored around regional drought-related human health impacts and will help identify gaps and needs, collaborative opportunities, and ways to integrate the health sector into existing drought activities.
The National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) is co-leading the Drought and Human Health Workshop with the University of Nebraska Medical Center, along with a number of Pacific Northwest partner organizations. The audience for this workshop will be state and local public health departments, climate scientists, emergency managers, tribal communities, and healthcare providers.
