About
The NWS HeatRisk is a tool that predicts the risk of heat-related impacts over 24 hours. It uses colors and numbers to show risk levels, from little to none (green) to extreme (magenta). It helps people plan for heat by providing advice on staying safe. The tool considers factors like temperature, time of year, and humidity. It's especially useful for vulnerable groups like the elderly or those without air conditioning. The HeatRisk system works with health data from the CDC and aims to help communities prepare better for extreme heat events across different regions in the U.S.
