Know the neighbourhood reading
A quick status check helps staff understand outdoor conditions before community outreach or outdoor clinic activity.
For health workers
Monitor local climate conditions for facility readiness
Check air, heat, and rain near your facility, register for alerts, and use informational guides alongside clinical judgement and local health authority instructions.
Know the basics
Three ideas to remember
Air and heat information is most useful when it supports calm, practical coordination alongside official guidance.
Alerts when things change
Registration can notify your team when air or heat moves into bands that need extra attention.
Support, not a diagnosis tool
Climate Compass does not replace clinical assessment, triage protocols, or official public-health orders.
Put it into practice
Set up a facility information habit
Use the dashboard as one source of evidence, alongside what you observe and guidance from trusted adults and local authorities.
- Step 1
Check the nearest city status on the dashboard before outdoor or community activities.
- Step 2
Note the plain-language band, AQI score, and heat reading for the staff board or handover.
- Step 3
Register the facility contact channels you already use for alerts.
- Step 4
Review an informational guide with colleagues and follow official health guidance when acting.
