This study looked at how community health workers (CHWs) in the Philippines experience and respond to extreme weather events. Interviews with 51 CHWs showed that their community and household roles influence how they prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. Many saw chances to play a stronger role in helping their communities but needed more training and resources. The findings show that CHWs are key to building climate-resilient health systems and should be better supported in disaster preparedness and response.
