Special Workshop: “Building Resilient Neighborhoods” in Times of Excessive Heat
Saturday, October 17, 1-3 p.m.
Physicians for Social Responsibility, Arizona Chapter, is bringing its comprehensive “Building Resilient Neighborhoods” workshop online for Climate Tucson members. A walk-through guide to the dangers of excessive heat, the workshop covers all the steps needed to be prepared, from keeping ourselves and others safe from dangerous and often fatal heat-related illnesses to the supplies and resources required in case of the worst-case scenario: an extended power outage.
The need for preparation is no longer a prudent thing to do; it’s a critical safety requirement for all of us living in a region that is facing continued record-breaking summertime heat. PSR-Arizona member Gene Einfrank will be our moderator for the 40-minute presentation. A Q&A will follow.
