These trends have greater and longer-lasting effects on some populations than others. This Supplemental Research Bulletin reviews the mental health and substance use-related (behavioral health) effects of climate-related disasters on individuals and communities. It explores the connections between extreme weather and behavioral health issues and conditions and ways to foster resilience in impacted communities.
