Climate resilience for frontline clinics toolkit

This toolkit was developed help protect people on the front lines of climate change. It includes the following resources: clinical guidance; how to develop action plans and alert systems; tip sheets for patients; checklists for clinic staff; and materials to protect patients with certain health conditions from extreme heat.

Thousands of community health centers and free clinics across the U.S. care for millions of our nation’s uninsured or underinsured patients. Yet, more intense heatwaves, hurricanes, wildfires, and other worsening events from climate change threaten their ability to provide care and keep their patients healthy.
