7. www.ifrc.org Saving lives, changing minds. Presentation title at-a-glance info (in slide master) Climate Change Training Flooding - Too much water increasing cases of drowning and other physical trauma; increasing risks of water- and vector-borne infectious diseases; increasing mental health effects associated with emergency situations; disrupting health systems, facilities and services, leaving communities without access to health care when they are needed most; and damaging basic infrastructure such as food and water supplies and safe shelter

Presentation title at-a-glance info (in slide master) Climate Change Training Biological Amplification  A mere half degree centigrade increase in temperature can bring about a 30 – 100% increase in mosquito abundance.  Highlands with low temperature are no longer safe against mosquito borne disease.

Presentation title at-a-glance info (in slide master) Climate Change Training Focus surveillance efforts at areas predicted to be at particularly high risk for changing patterns of disease Vector-borne diseases (malaria, dengue, etc) There are not yet early warning systems for everything, everywhere EARLY WARNING EARLY ACTION For health effects?

23. www.ifrc.org Saving lives, changing minds. Presentation title at-a-glance info (in slide master) Climate Change Training Summary  Increase of climate sensitive diseases  (Shift of) high temperatures & vectors  Same problems - changing patterns/frequency/places  Proper adaptation measure can reduce the burden of disease  Combine detection/surveillance, baseline resilience and use of climate information to promote health resilience
