Time to become prepared is now
March 27, 2022
I was disappointed that the Fresno County Board of Supervisors rejected a proposal by the Dept. of Public Health to accept $175,000 to fund a study on the health impacts of climate change on Fresno County residents.
We need to better understand the health im-pacts of increasingly com-mon events like wildfire smoke drifting in from across the state. We need to find ways to shield our most vulnerable residents with asthma, COPD and heart disease from those events.
I agree with the county supervisors that agriculture is important to Fresno County. But climate change threatens both Valley crops and Valley children. As any girl or boy Scout would tell you, "Be prepared."
