In society's effort to address and prepare for climate change, the health community itself must ensure that it is prepared. Health personnel will require flexible and iterative action plans to address climate change at the individual, hospital, local health department, state, and national levels. This requires that health workers analyze the impact of climate change with a view to human health, and then formulate robust policy and demonstrate authentic leadership. In this review, we summarize the status of the health community's preparation for climate change and provide specific recommendations for action at each level. Although preparation status and recommendations vary, our observation is that it is not enough for public health and medical care agencies and departments to develop policies and advocate change. They have a direct responsibility to demonstrate substantive leadership.

为美国卫生界为应对气候变化做准备。

在社会为应对和应对气候变化所做的努力中，卫生界本身必须确保已做好准备。卫生人员将需要灵活，反复的行动计划，以解决个人，医院，地方卫生部门，州和国家各级的气候变化问题。这就要求卫生工作者分析气候变化对人类健康的影响，然后制定强有力的政策并展现出真正的领导才能。在本次审查中，我们总结了卫生界为应对气候变化所做的准备工作的现状，并针对每个级别的行动提出了具体建议。尽管准备状态和建议各不相同，但我们的观察结果是，公共卫生和医疗机构和部门制定政策和倡导变革还远远不够。
