Thousands of people across Melbourne and Geelong were affected by the thunderstorm asthma epidemic that hit southern Victoria on 21 November 2016. As part of the official response to the event, the Victorian Government Department of Health and Human Services is holding a series of community information sessions.
The Thunderstorm Asthma Community Information Sessions will be of greatest value to those who were impacted by the thunderstorm asthma event. They will give you an opportunity to hear directly from experts about what thunderstorm asthma is and what steps you can take to help you and your family for the next pollen season.
Information will also be provided about the emotional reactions experienced by people during and after emergencies and where additional help is available. Plenty of time will be provided for you to ask questions.
The content presented at these information sessions will be available online after the sessions have concluded, so you won't miss out on any information if you can't make one of the sessions in person.
If you would like more information on thunderstorm asthma please visit the Better Health Channel website.
