How climate affects community health : a social media toolkit for engaging local communities in climate and health adaptation

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), through the Climate-Ready States and Cities Initiative (CRSCI), is helping health departments identify likely climate impacts in their communities, potential health effects associated with these impacts, and the populations most likely to be at risk.CRSCI helps grantees from 16 states and two cities use the Building Resilience Against Climate Effects (BRACE) framework to develop and implement adaptation plans to protect their communities.This social media toolkit was developed to support CRSCI grantees in their communication efforts. The toolkit includes suggested post copy, shareable graphics, videos and best practices. Tips on using this content to engage audiences and boost the reach of messages are included throughout the toolkit.Find more resources for communicating about climate and health adaptation at CDC.gov/climateandhealthPublication date from document properties.CDC-Climate-Health-Social-Media-Toolkit-508.pdf2018621
