Conference: Community interest

This webcast serves as the Water Science and Technology Board (WSTB) spring 2025 meeting and will discuss the impacts of wildfires on water supply systems. The discussions will cover contamination of drinking water treatment and distribution systems resulting from wildfires, storm water and drinking water impacts to downstream communities following fires, and policies and programs for water supplies that can improve wildfire response and recovery.

Dr. J. Marshall Shepherd will share critical insights and data on climate-related issues, highlighting the disproportionate effects of extreme weather on vulnerable populations and public health. This is the latest webinar will in the series Climate & Health Equity hosted by The Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health.

Through examination of three recent events, this Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate (BASC) open session seeks to advance understanding of the characteristics, impacts, and changing nature of current extreme events; highlight lessons and gaps for resilience to such extreme events; and identify needs and contributions from the scientific community to advance knowledge of and resilience to these extremes. This session will focus on three case studies: wildfires in Los Angeles, the 2024 Phoenix AZ extreme heat, and extreme rainfall and flooding in Western NC from Hurricane Helene.

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