Summary: A review of environmental effects of high impact climate events, such as hurricanes and wildfires. High impact weather events are becoming more common. This hurricane season we have had over 20 named hurricanes and tropical storms in the Atlantic Ocean and thousands of acres burned in one of the worst fire seasons on the West Coast. I will be examining pollution caused by hurricanes and forest fires and the long-lasting health implications, specifically on low-income communities.
