Test a New Virtual Tool: Plan and Implement Protective Extreme Heat Interventions
Join NACCHO and the University of Washington REACH Center for a free webinar about CHaRT, a tool to reduce health risks associated with extreme heat. CHaRT can be used by local health departments to assess and plan for extreme heat events in the regions they serve. CHaRT is an online tool that provides data on heat-health risks at a local scale for both historical and future conditions. It can provide tailored risk reduction activities based on local factors, and information about the efficacy, timing and cost of each intervention. At the webinar, presenter Jeremy Hess will discuss an opportunity for health departments to participate in a research trial on CHaRT. The research trial will help UW researchers learn more about the tool’s effectiveness in helping local health departments prepare for heat.

In this team-up style webinar, Jonny Armstrong will present NW CASC-supported research on trout, temperature, and pathogens in the Upper Klamath Basin, while Ian Tattam will discuss the Oregon Department of Fish & Wildlife’s work on non-native bass and juvenile steelhead interactions in the John Day River.
Presentation summaries:
Exploring how water temperature and pathogens shape the distribution of native and non-native trout in the Upper Klamath Basin (Jonny Armstrong)
Empirical studies on disease, invasive species, and warming temperatures are often conducted in isolation, yet these factors likely have complex interactions that may lead to unexpected results. For example, temperature can mediate the impacts of pathogens on their host and host responses may depend on whether they co-evolved with pathogens. We hypothesized that fish pathogens in the Upper Klamath Basin may constrain the distributions of invasive brook and brown trout, indirectly benefiting native redband trout, which support important…
