Joint Session 6 Earth Observations that Support Health Early Warning Systems and Monitoring of Disease Risks

Thursday, 14 January 2016: 8:30 AM-9:45 AM
Room 228/229 ( New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)
Hosts: (Joint between the Seventh Conference on Environment and Health; and the Fourth Symposium on Building a Weather-Ready Nation: Enhancing Our Nation’s Readiness, Responsiveness, and Resilience to High Impact Weather Events )
Chair:
Juli Trtanj, NOAA/OAR/Climate Program Office, NOAA Climate Program Office, Silver Spring, MD

The focus will be to address how various earth observations, such as satellite, remote sensing, or in-situ, can be implemented to improve earth warning systems specific to disease monitoring. Topics can focus on implementation at various spatiotemporal scales to prepare the nation for the risks of weather and climate health impact.
