National Public Health Week
This year, National Public Health Week is April 3-9. The observance serves to promote awareness and celebrate the work of public health. But what exactly is public health work? You may be aware of public health’s role with COVID-19, but did you know that the work is much more extensive? Public health is about protecting the health of an entire population. For the Cambridge Public Health Department, that means all people who live, learn, work, play, or spend time in Cambridge. Read more about the variety of work we do to support the health and well-being of the Cambridge community.

Cool, Safe Cambridge
Climate change is making our storms bigger, our summers hotter, our winter weather more unpredictable, and our rainfall patterns swing wildly from flash flooding to flash droughts. Over time, we will need to manage increasing challenges such as higher ocean and groundwater levels and more wind, fire, and drought.
Extreme weather is not new. We already know how to deal with blizzards without major loss of life or property damage. Climate change means that we need to learn how similarly manage these new challenges while minimizing harm to people and our surroundings.
