In the United States, extreme heat is the most deadly weather-related hazard. In the face of a warming climate and urbanization, it is very likely that extreme heat events (EHEs) will become more common and more severe in the U.S. Using National Land Data Assimilation System (NLDAS) ...
Climate change is intensifying extreme weather events. Yet a systematic analysis of post-disaster healthcare utilization and outcomes for severe weather and climate disasters, as tracked by the US government, is lacking. Following exposure to 42 US billion-dollar weather disasters (severe storm, flood...
The Socio-Spatial Dynamics of Extreme Urban Heat Events: The Case of Heat-related Deaths in Philadelphia Heat is the number one weather-related cause of mortality in the United States; typically punctuated by extreme heat waves. This study examines the relatio... DP Johnson,JS Wilson - 《Appli...
Extreme heat events (EHEs) are linked to mortality rates, making them an important research subject in both the climate and public health fields. This study evaluated linear trends in EHEs using the U.S. Historical Climatology Network (USHCN), version 2.0, dataset and quantified the longer-ter...
found that the most common agency responses to extreme heat include risk communication, education and outreach to the public, collaboration with other organizations, and the opening of “cooling centers” – air-conditioned public spaces opened to the public during periods of extreme heat [30]. Onl...
The Cornhusker State's central location helps insulate it from some of the extremes on the coasts. But this year,Nebraskaresidents have been dealing with extreme heat and dry weather, and a series ofwildfiresin April burned 697 acres in Cass County. The state's vast plains are ferti...
7 The amplification index using more extreme cutoffs for hot and dry days. The ISD1973 amplification index used in the main text (blue) compared to a version calculated with more extreme temperature (90th-100th percentile) and specific humidity (less than 5th percentile) cutoffs (orange). ...
Heat-related deaths after an extreme heat event--four states, 2012, and United States, 1999-2009. On June 29, 2012, a rapidly moving line of intense thunderstorms with high winds swept across the midwestern and eastern United States, causing widespread ... DR Fowler,CS Mitchell,A Brown,.....
Heat wave mortality impacts and effect modification by heat wave characteristics were more pronounced in the Northeast and Midwest compared with the South. Conclusions: We found higher mortality risk from heat waves that were more intense or longer, or those occurring earlier in summer. These ...
