This indicator shows the rate of emergency visits per 100,000 population due to explicit clinical effects on the body caused by hot weather and excessive heat exposure.
Why is this important?
Heat-related illnesses (e.g., heat cramps, heat exhaustion, heat syncope, heatstroke, or hypertherm) and death can occur when high ambient temperatures overcome the body's natural ability to dissipate heat. Very high body temperatures may damage the brain or other vital organs. Those at greatest risk for heat-related illness or death include infant and children up to four years of age, the elderly, people who are overweight or obese, and people who are ill or on certain medications.
