The Biden administration, in collaboration with NOAA and the CDC, has launched a new online tool named HeatRisk to help Americans anticipate and prepare for extreme heat conditions. This tool integrates weather, climate data, and health risk assessments to forecast potential health risks due to high temperatures. HeatRisk features an interactive viewer and utilizes a five-level color-coded system, including a new magenta level, to indicate the most severe heat conditions. This initiative comes in response to increasing temperatures and follows the planet's warmest year on record.
Summer is coming. After last year’s record-breaking heat, forecasts show that above-average summer temperatures are likely to return to most of the U.S. A new online tool will map and rate the risk to health posed by heat using a five-level color scale. https://t.co/l4SshtByXX
