## Abstract

This series of conferences and convenings is focused on advancing knowledge that has direct application to pressing societal problems for keeping communities safe and healthy in the face of a growing number of weather-related risks. A wide range of health issues are weather related such as respiratory issues due to poor air quality, heat stress, impacts on water quality from flooding, and others. There are many reasons for the weather community to work closely with the medical/health communtity to keep people safe and healthy. While there are examples of effective collaborations between the weather and health communities, much more could be done to provide the medical researchers and practitioners with information to reduce health impacts from weather. This set of meetings brings together key professionals from academia, the profit and non-profit sector, and other interested parties to foster effective collaborations to accelerate the understanding links between weather and health. Those collaborations, and the research that will result from them, will ultimately lead to new products and services that improve the safety and health of the public. Broader impacts of the work will provide education and training of early career professionals seeking careers at the intersection of weather and health to build a strong and well integrated community of practice in this area of societal need.

This series of convenings involves virtual and in-person meetings. The in-person discussio
