CDC has released a first-of-its-kind, online tool to help emergency and public health planners prepare for and respond to extreme heat events. The Heat & Health Tracker provides timely, user-friendly, local-level heat and health data and information that can be used to :
Features
Data
- Inform decisions and public health actions,
- Describe and locate vulnerable populations, and
- Determine resources and potential needs.
Features
- Search for information by county or zip code
- Create custom maps
- View data snapshots
- Access guidance and resources from CDC and other credible sources.
Data
- Current, historical, and future projected temperatures
- Heat-related health effects (emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and deaths)
- Population characteristics (demographics, socioeconomics, and vulnerabilities)
- Community characteristics (land use, land cover, and locations of important resources such as hospitals)
The CDC Heat & Health Tracker was developed by a collaboration between the CDC Climate and Health Program, which empowers communities to protect public health from a changing climate, and the CDC Environmental Public Health Tracking Program, which develops tools, applications, and products that utilize environmental health data for public health action.
