Extreme heat is the leading weather-related cause of death in the U.S., despite being preventable. Severe health impacts from heat (e.g., death, 911 calls, emergency room visits) often occur rapidly, particularly among vulnerable populations. This webinar will discuss the rising threat of extreme heat, highlighting intensifying heatwaves, elevated nighttime temperatures, and risks such as social isolation, higher mortality rates, and strain on healthcare systems. Effective communication and planning are crucial for public safety and addressing perception gaps, especially for vulnerable populations.

The session will emphasize tailored communication strategies, recognizing biases, and providing actionable steps for individuals and households to mitigate heat risks, as well as additional planning resources.
