Extreme heat
• More very hot days, higher humidity, longer & hotter heat waves
• 14.5 million Americans exposed to heat waves annually (2000-2016)
• Illness and death from heat stroke and dehydration
• Longer seasons for allergens
• 7 million annual deaths
worldwide
• Heat increases wildfires,
smog, and pollen
• Humidity and flooding
leads to indoor mold
growth
• Exacerbations in asthma
and allergies
Air pollution
• Changes in range,
lifespan, virulence, and
population
• Mosquitoes: West Nile
virus, malaria, & zika
virus
• Ticks: Lyme disease
• Extreme weather leads
to breeding grounds
Changes in ecology
• More frequent and
severe rains, floods,
droughts, fires, and
major storms
• Housing displacement
• Decreased access to
health services and
medications
• Particularly damaging to
mental health
Severe weather
Mental health, migration
• Depression, anxiety, anger, hopelessness, PTSD,
uncertainty
• Familial, financial, and societal impacts are often
unquantifiable and difficult to articulate
• Example: 215,000 Puerto Ricans fled to Florida after
Hurricane Maria
• Climate change expected to lead to increased migration to
the Pacific NW.
