气候变化背景下的预测热浪需要适当的战略，以防止对人口健康的有害影响。在卡塞尔地区公共卫生部门的一个示范项目中，将确定生活在有过热风险地区的老年人并向他们提供咨询。高风险居住区的定位是规划过程的一部分。通过绘制人口和小气候数据以及住宅建筑材料的特点，确定了需要作为最高优先事项采取预防措施的高风险地区。社区卫生当局预防与高温有关的死亡和发病需要与其他行政机构，特别是城市规划部门密切合作。绘制人口和小气候数据以及住宅建筑物材料特性的地图，可有助于规划预防措施。
Prognosticated heat waves in the context of climate change require appropriate strategies to prevent harmful health effects in the population. In a model project within the public health department of the Kassel region, elderly living in areas at risk of over-heating will be identified and advised. The localization of high-risk residential areas was part of the planning process. Through mapping of demographic and microclimate data and the characteristics of the material of the residential buildings, high-risk areas that require preventive measures as a top priority were identified. The prevention of heat-related mortality and morbidity by communal health authorities requires close cooperation with other administrative bodies, especially with town planning departments. Mapping demographic and microclimate data and the characteristics of the material of the residential buildings can facilitate the planning of preventive measures.
