Resource Summary: The changes in climate and weather patterns have a disproportionate impact on Migratory and Seasonal Agricultural Workers (MSAWs) because of the nature of their work, including increased exposure to heat and other severe weather events like wildfires, drought, and flooding, and loss of income due to crop failures and missing work due to natural disasters. This new fact sheet addresses the need for health centers to have access to current, relevant research on how changes in climate impact their MSAW patients.
Resource Details: This fact sheet is available to download and share in English on the NCFH website.
