Abstract
What: The National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS) convened a regional workshop to understand the multidisciplinary user contexts for heat-health information, employing a decision calendar approach to document discipline-specific and time-scale-explicit decisions made to reduce heat-health risk. These agencies compiled resources and launched a heat-health information portal (https://climate.gov/nihhis) for unified access to heat-health-relevant information such as information on vulnerable populations and weather and climate predictions. 1 Garfin, G., S.
