Climate-related health impacts are not theoretical. Extreme heat, wildfires, flooding, drought, and vector-borne disease expansion are already affecting health systems and communities.

Preparedness failures appear when infrastructure is overwhelmed, populations are displaced, and health services are disrupted repeatedly. Climate change magnifies existing vulnerabilities and exposes gaps in emergency planning, housing policy, and health equity.

Preparedness must include climate adaptation strategies, heat mitigation, resilient infrastructure, and community education. Treating climate change as a future concern delays necessary action.

Preparedness for climate impacts is preparedness for today.
