Educational Resource Hub
This crowd-sourced database of educational resources is meant to encompass any tools relevant to people working at the intersection of health and extreme weather. This might include submissions by the content authors themselves, or simply recommendations from community members for resources they have found helpful. This collection includes only links directing users to existing resources - it is not meant to house or archive content.
Keep in mind, this is a crowd-sourced database. CAFE does not verify the quality nor endorse the use of any materials included in this database. Make sure to follow the terms of use and attribution requirements specific to each resource. If you have created or used sources that would be relevant to the community of practice, please add it to the database by entering it in the submission form below.
This webinar provides examples and guidance for writing a strong specific aims page as part of the NIH grant writing process.
Calculate road length sums by type for each county/municipality for a country of choice, as well as calculate number of road intersections.
This concise U.S. Census Bureau documentation aims to consolidate frequently used information, offering a quick kick-start for your Census journey.
This documentation specifically focuses on the following commonly used products:
The American Community Survey (U.S. Census Bureau)
ACS 1-Year Estimate
sACS 5-Year Estimates
The Decennial Census
Using the R ecmwfr package, ERA5 hourly temperature measures are downloaded from the Copernicus Climate Data Store. Using temperature and dewpoint temperature, heat index and humidex metrics are derived. Daily mean, maximum, and minimum measures are assessed across administrative boundaries. Kenya is used as a demonstration area.
Using the gridded meteorological dataset PRISM as an example, this tutorial demonstrates how to aggregate raster data to administrative units (e.g., counties) with population weights.

In June 2026, 111 participants from around the world gathered at the University of Oslo for the first-ever DHIS2 Climate & Health Academy—training for “District Health Information Software 2,” which is a free, open-source software platform used for collecting, managing, analyzing, and visualizing data.
This four-day event included presentations from the DHIS2 team on the latest tools for climate data integration and predictive modeling, presentations from local teams on how DHIS2 is being used in low- and middle-income countries to help analyze and address climate-sensitive disease risks, and hands-on technical sessions to build national capacity.
All sessions were recorded and are available on the DHIS2 YouTube channel in English and French.
The National Weather Service (NWS) recently teamed up with Cumbre Kids podcast to produce two special episodes about hurricanes. They feature NOAA/NWS meteorologist, Steve LaVoie, who breaks down hurricanes into fun, accessible science for both elementary and middle schoolers. These episodes are especially important for kids living near coastal cities impacted by hurricanes.
