<div><font face="Geneva"><br>
One of the first efforts to systematically assess how cities are
preparing for climate change shows that city planners have yet to
fully assess their vulnerability to climate change, leaving serious
risks unaddressed. Sabrina McCormick at Milken Institute School of
Public Health at the George Washington University, says her research
suggests that national experts must make changes in their approach to
ensure that their assessments are useful to urban planners and other
city managers responsible for safeguarding the public
health.</font></div>
