California Health Assessment Tool

By 2051, Colusa County, California could see an average maximum temperature of almost 106 degrees. As the climate warms, extreme heat events are also becoming more common—putting elderly or very young people, outdoor workers and individuals with preexisting health conditions or limited resources at higher risk. And they may feel health impacts with smaller temperature increases than will the general population. Find out more about what California's changing climate will mean for your community with the California Heat Assessment Tool (CHAT), an interactive online platform. Explore the tool.
 
Last month, CHAT was selected by the Climate Change Business Journal for a Project Merit: Climate Change Adaptation and Resilience award. CHAT is part of California’s Fourth Climate Change Assessment, a state-mandated research program to assess climate change impacts in California, and was developed by Four Twenty Seven, Argos Analytics, the Public Health Institute and Habitat 7 with technical support from the California Department of Public Health.
