We’re providing health care resources and knowledge to communities in need.
Americares is bringing resources to clinics across the U.S. – and we’re helping providers and patients adapt. We respond to extreme weather events around the world, establish long-term recovery projects and bring preparedness programs to communities vulnerable to disasters.
Americares develops innovative global programming that addresses the health impacts of climate change. We work directly with health providers and clinic staff serving vulnerable patients on the front lines of the climate crisis to co-create solutions that give them the information, resources and plans to be ready the next time extreme weather strikes.
Americares climate resilience work is focused on health equity and climate justice and is informed by decades of experience preparing communities with disaster-risk reduction training and disaster-preparedness boot camps, responding to climate-related emergencies and helping communities recover from major hurricanes and other extreme weather events.
