On Monday, the National Weather Service announced excessive heat warnings in parts of California with more set to take effect in Phoenix and Las Vegas later this week. The triple-digit temperatures give a glimpse of what summer may have in store following record-breaking heat in 2023 linked to thousands of heat-related deaths in the United States.
A homeless count conducted on Jan. 22, 2024, in Maricopa County found 9,435 people experiencing homelessness; 57% were in emergency shelter, transitional housing, or safe haven programs, and 43 % of them were living on the streets. As the sun beams down on Phoenix, the streets and sidewalks turn into hot griddles that can be lethal. Experts say the pavement can reach temperatures as high as 180 degrees.
This year, the Maricopa County Department of Public Health launched a new interactive dashboard that tracks heat-related deaths. As of June 3, 2024 there are two confirmed heat-related deaths and 42 remain under investigation. To address the lethal heat, Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs announced the state’s first Extreme Heat Preparedness Plan. The plan lays out short-term goals and long-term goals to provide heat relief.
