Virus and disease outbreaks, another global pandemic, natural disasters and humanitarian events, prolonged periods of extreme temperatures – healthcare workers are on the front lines of every area of critical care. With increasing shortages of doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals, they need all the assistance and resources they can get to make their jobs more efficient and effective.
The odds that the average person will experience a global pandemic in their lifetime are nearly 40 percent. However, the annual probability of experiencing extreme epidemics and pandemics will increase threefold over the coming decades, according to recent research from Duke University.
Climate change affects wildlife habitat, providing increasing opportunities for animals to be in close contact with humans and raising the risk of the transmission of zoonotic diseases as well as mosquito-borne illnesses.
A warming planet is also increasing the number of record high heat days as well as raising humidity. In the coming years, we can expect to see double the number of days with a heat index over 100 degrees F.
