About the Webinar
Over the past few weeks, southern Europe has been experiencing an intense wildfire season, with major fires affecting several countries including France, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece. These events have led to widespread evacuations, disruptions to daily life and growing concerns about their impact on people's health and wellbeing.
Join us on the morning of 6 August for this 30-minute session, we will review the current context of the wildfires in Europe and its logistical considerations, before providing a practical overview of the health, mental health and wellbeing effects of wildfires, including smoke exposure, vulnerable populations, psychological impacts and recovery.
We will also discuss practical steps individuals and employers can take to protect health, build resilience and support wellbeing before, during and after wildfire events.
