Identification of the health care needs of homeless people during extreme weather events in South Australia

Researcher: Paul Arbon

Homelessness is a major cause of poor health. Exposure to extreme weather is one of the numerous risks faced by people who are homeless. Governments and non‐government agencies respond to these weather events in a variety of ways. This project seeks to identify health care needs of homeless people during extreme weather events, government and non‐government organizations providing services to these people and their response during extreme weather. On the basis of this analysis, recommendations will be made as to how organizations such as RDNS SA Inc. may respond.
