Learn best practices to reduce asthma triggers during flood cleanup
Register now for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency webinar, "Asthma Triggers and Flood Cleanup: Protecting Health After Major Storm Events," on March 31, 2026, 1:00 – 2:30 p.m. ET.
Flooding after major storm events, such as hurricanes, can create serious public health risks and make indoor air unhealthy. Flood water can contain germs (e.g., bacteria, viruses, parasites), chemicals and other hazards that may affect human health. Mold, which naturally persists in moist environments, is a concern because airborne mold spores can land on damp surfaces and grow. For people sensitive to mold, inhaling airborne mold spores can trigger an asthma attack.
Expert speakers will provide attendees with practical knowledge, resources and tools to reduce asthma triggers and the risk of asthma attacks during flood cleanup and related recovery efforts.
