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.

Building on the results of community heat mapping efforts 26 July 2019

Building on the results of community heat mapping efforts

Following successful completion of an urban heat mapping campaign in Portland, Oregon in 2016, the map produced through the community effort was used in a study on effective ways to cool the city's urban areas. The study, requested by the City of Portland, shows the substantial cooling effect of planting trees and vegetation in urban areas.

Citizen scientists take to the streets to map the hottest places in ten U.S. cities 24 July 2019

Citizen scientists take to the streets to map the hottest places in ten U.S. cities

With specially designed sensors mounted on their own cars, volunteers in each city will drive pre-planned routes, recording heat and humidity as they go. Scientists will stitch their results into a detailed map showing the hottest parts of each city.

About Us

NIHHIS is an integrated information system that builds understanding of the problem of extreme heat, defines demand for climate services that enhance societal resilience, develops science-based products and services from a sustained climate science research program, and improves capacity, communication, and societal understanding of the problem in order to reduce morbidity and mortality due to extreme heat.  NIHHIS is a jointly developed system by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
