Western heat wave threatens health in vulnerable communities

India TV News  

Extreme temperatures like the ones blistering the American West this week aren't just annoying, they're deadly. With more frequent and intense heat waves likely because of climate change and the worst drought in modern history, they say communities must better protect the vulnerable, like homeless people and those who live in ethnically and racially diverse low-income neighbourhoods. “This heat has an important effect on people and their health,” said Dr Suganya Karuppana, chief medical director at the Valle del Sol community health clinics in Arizona. “We are activated for Phoenix and monitoring it closely,” said Nicolette Louissaint, executive director of the Washington nonprofit Healthcare Ready, which was founded after Hurricane Katrina to help communities deal with natural disasters. Louissaint said her organization has helped in heat emergencies by funding cooling centers that offer bottled water and shade or arrange transportation for older people without cars who need dialysis or heart checkups.
