Summary
This summer’s record-breaking heatwaves across the US and Europe aren’t random—they’re the new normal, with thousands of heat-related deaths already confirmed. But in Phoenix, Arizona, proactive policies are making a difference: cooling centers, free AC for vulnerable residents, and even a dedicated heat officer have slashed heat deaths by nearly 35% in just two years. While challenges remain—especially as July 2024 already shows signs of surpassing last year’s death toll—the city’s blueprint proves that coordinated action, infrastructure investment, and recognizing heat as a public health and economic crisis can save lives. The heat isn’t going away. We need to adapt—or pay the price. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
