Climate Resilience for Health Care Toolkit

The Climate Resilience for Healthcare (CR4HC) toolkit is designed primarily for healthcare emergency preparedness professionals, as well as the multidisciplinary teams that participate in healthcare organizations’ emergency preparedness and resilience planning. CR4HC is designed to be used after completing a hazard vulnerability assessment, using tools like the HHS Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) Risk Identification and Site Criticality (RISC) Toolkit, to inform health care resilience planning in the setting of evolving climate-related disasters and extreme weather events. The CR4HC includes information about why climate resilience is important for healthcare organizations to mitigate the risk of costly disruptions to care delivery, evidence-based recommended actions to improve resilience, and a collection of real-world case studies.
