This Keynote brings together experts to explore how communities can anticipate and respond to extreme winter events. Host Dr. Sabine Jamal (Cornell Health Impacts Core) will moderate a dynamic conversation with Dr. Alistair Hayden (Cornell University) and Dr. Nick Bassill (NY State Weather Risk Communication Center).

Our panel will examine population-level impacts of cold weather emergencies, including health, infrastructure, and equity challenges, and highlight innovative tools for real-time alerts, decision-support dashboards, and lessons learned from previous events. Join us to discover strategies that strengthen resilience, improve communication, and make preparedness a shared responsibility.
