Climate change is increasingly an urgent concern because of the catastrophic and irreversible impacts on the
planet and society as a whole. In recent years, there have also been more frequent and extreme weather events such as heatwaves, droughts, floods and wildfires across the globe. Although families of children with medical complexity may be particularly vulnerable to the impacts of extreme weather events, few studies exist that address this topic. Drawing upon a subset of data from two qualitative studies, we explored the experiences of families during climate-related weather events in British Columbia, Canada. Participants described their lived experiences during the heat dome, wildfires and flooding of 2021. Across all of the weather events, children with medical complexity experienced social isolation and, for some, increased anxiety. Participants also shared adaptive measures, or strategies, they used during these events. In the absence of government supports, families drew upon their informal peer networks in some situations.
