RECOVERY: Wildfire Recovery, Adaptation, and Long-Term Health Impacts

June 15, 2026 | 11AM-2pm PT/2pm-5pm ET

This session is part of a three-part series on Wildfire Preparedness, Response, and Recovery: Health System Resilience in the Era of Complex Wildfire Risk, which will convene a cross-sector group of leaders and experts to examine long-term health impacts, recovery challenges, and strategies to support community recovery and strengthen resilience to future wildfire risk.

Recent wildfire events have highlighted persistent gaps in how health systems and public health agencies prepare for, respond to, and recover from these incidents. The Forum on Medical and Public Health Preparedness for Disasters and Emergencies is hosting a webinar series to explore the health impacts of wildfires across the disaster cycle; and foster cross-sector dialogue to raise awareness, share lessons learned, and identify opportunities to strengthen health-focused preparedness, response, and recovery.
