Description:Extreme heat has significant direct and indirect impacts on a wide array of sectors. Among the most visible indicators that extreme heat demands additional attention is its persistence as a leading cause of weather-related deaths and injuries in the United States (Berko et al. 2014). Projections of a warmer future, especially in cities, have led some researchers to identify heat as a significant threat to health and well-being for the future (Hondula et al. 2015). In Arizona, public leaders are taking a proactive approach to build collaboration to address one of the state’s most consequential natural hazards. Exposure to excessive natural heat in the state caused 1,193 deaths from 2006 to 2016 (ADHS 2016).
