The STAT* Extreme Weather & Health Action Network webinar series has three remaining virtual events (2025: May 7, Jun 4, and Jul 9).

Extreme heat is a persistent and deadly public health concern in Maricopa County. Substance use during extreme heat significantly raises the chances of serious health outcomes, including death. In 2024, nearly 60% of heat-related deaths involved substance use in Maricopa County — and among those, 89% involved stimulants. This webinar hosted by Maricopa County Public Health will explore the combined risks of heat and substance use and share local data.

This year’s theme of the National Environmental Health Association Annual Education Conference and Exhibition, Our Oasis in the Desert, celebrates the resilience and renewal at the heart of the environmental health profession. This conference is an opportunity to recharge, reflect, and gain knowledge needed to adapt to the ever-changing landscape.

"Regional-level Solutions" is the third and final webinar in the Extreme Heat Adaptation in Indigenous Communities panel series hosted by the the Desert Research Institute in partnership with the Climate Science Alliance, the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals, and the Collaborative of Native Nations for Climate Transformation and Stewardship (CNNCTS).

This American Meteorological Society (AMS) webinar will highlight the important work that NOAA meteorologists throughout the agency do to keep the public safe during severe weather events. A particular focus will be on the collaboration between different organizations within NOAA, as well as their communication with each other and with the general public.

As climate extremes intensify, it’s more important than ever for businesses to understand not only how extreme heat impacts employees, productivity, and cost—but also how the heat policy and preparedness landscape is evolving. Drawing on new research on state-level readiness and a landscape analysis of heat-related regulation across federal and state levels, this webinar will help business leaders—especially those in HR, Government Affairs, EHS, and Operations—understand the current state and resources to dig in further. The session will offer clear insights into how employers can engage on public health, anticipate developments, and take proactive steps to protect their workforce amid increasing climate-driven risks.
