6.5 Exposure to Extreme Weather & UV-B Rays

Many of the initial adaptation strategies related to exposure to extreme weather and UV-B rays have been mentioned above, such as community education strategies and taking extra precautions and supplies when traveling. One other recommendation concerning extreme weather events is to have an early weather warning system of some sort in the community. Having small scale satellite weather stations in the community, and out at the 5 Lakes areas, would give our community more time to prepare for extreme weather, or to let our harvesters know the weather conditions before going out to harvest, or while out harvesting. Weather stations would also allow our community to collect weather related data over time for use in future research. A less expensive alternative to weather stations for an early weather warning system, but a less reliable one, is through local media such as the radio (Fort Simpson) or the internet.
