美国每年约有 400 人死于极端高温，而且全球气候变化可能会增加热浪的风险。尽管存在与高温相关的发病率和死亡率的风险，但许多城市缺乏书面的高温应对计划。在对 18 个面临高温死亡风险的城市的计划进行审查后，我们发现许多城市的高温应对计划不充分或根本没有。这是进一步调查和政府关注的重要领域。
Approximately 400 people die from extreme heat each year in the United States, and the risk of heat waves may increase as a result of global climate change. Despite the risk of heat-related morbidity and mortality, many cities lack written heat response plans. In a review of plans from 18 cities at risk for heat-related mortality, we found that many cities had inadequate or no heat response plans. This is an important area for further investigation and government attention.
