Overview
Overview
Drought is characterized by long duration, lack of identifiable onset and termination, and recurrence, impeding preparation and response efforts aimed to mitigate its adverse health and economic effects. According to the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, extreme droughts are nearly twice as likely today due to climate change. These make preparation crucial to prevent adverse health effects brought about by scarcity of water, a critical resource.
The Drought Health Risk Index was piloted as a part of a Natural Resources Canada funded effort. With the base data for Canada being obtained from Statistics Canada and the Canadian Chronic Disease Surveillance System. A video for the pilot results for Manitoba Canada can be viewed on our YouTube channel .
