CHA's Webinar: Health Impacts of the Ecological Crisis and Your Response on March 25 3-4PM ET

The flooding, wildfires, super typhoon, hurricanes among other natural disasters are extreme, and more frequent.  Apart from the natural calamities impact on the livelihood, there are healthcare risks that are tied up to all of these.  Be prepared in responding to crisis.  Want to learn how our world's health is now impacted by ecological crisis?  Anything that you breathe, feel, and see differently are signs of the health risks that you can watch out.   By having the information available to you, you can better prepare yourself with what you need in order to respond better.  

This webinar is posted here as this is the interconnection of Justice, Peace, and Integrity of Creation with  Healthcare.  As the Laudato Si' teaches us, everything is connected.  When one is hurting, the whole is affected.  Pope Francis gave us a message that we cannot be healthy on a sick planet.  It is a hope that this webinar can help the attendees in coping with the information needed to respond to health needs of individual affected by the ecological crisis.

Some questions that you may have in mind or you want to answer:

  • How resilient is your household to withstand the ecological crisis and disaster?

  • How do you prepare for specific risks associated with natural disasters?
  • What do we need to be aware of to lessen the impact of the ecological crisis in community?
