CDC Launches Heat & Health Tracker Tool

NIHHIS Partner: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

CDC Launches Heat & Health Tracker Tool

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released a first-of-its-kind online tool to help emergency and public health planners prepare for and respond to extreme heat events. The Heat & Health Tracker provides timely, user-friendly, local-level heat and health data and information that can be used to:

  • Inform decisions and public health actions,
  • Describe and locate vulnerable populations, and
  • Determine resources and potential needs.

The CDC Heat & Health Tracker was developed by a collaboration between the CDC Climate and Health Program, which empowers communities to protect public health from a changing climate, and the CDC Environmental Public Health Tracking Program, which develops tools, applications, and products that utilize environmental health data for public health action.
