Heat-related illness data dashboards

Extreme heat events caused by climate change are becoming more frequent and intense. They can lead to heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion, sun stroke, and fainting, and can also cause death. Extreme heat disproportionately impacts certain people, including older adults, children, pregnant people, outdoor workers, people who live in urban heat islands, people who are unhoused, and those with underlying health conditions.
