Extreme Heat and
Aging Exchange

Older adults bear the brunt of extreme heat. This age group experiences more heat-related hospitalizations than any other. Climate change exacerbates these risks.

The Extreme Heat and Aging Exchange is a forum for researchers, policymakers, and advocates to find and share resources dealing with extreme urban heat and its impacts on the health of older adults.

Our initial catalog includes a curated collection of public data sets, other data catalogs, models and visualization tools, and resources provided by city, state, and federal sources, NGOs, and university-based researchers.
