Efforts to Address Temperature-Related Health Concerns

It is feasible to avoid the negative health impacts of exceptionally high temperatures if enough local, regional, and global preparation are in place. Health care readiness and early warnings from meteorological systems are current initiatives to address climate change-related health issues. In addition, timely medical and public guidance and advances in urban planning are also part of these efforts. When it comes to providing health-related alerts and advisories, most nations often hit by record-breaking heat have well-established national meteorological services in place. Public health groups, state health agencies, and health care providers work together to implement the warnings' communication efforts. The health care system, including hospitals, doctors' offices, and pharmacies, is critical for disseminating medical and behavioural advice to the public (Nicholas & Breakey, 2017). They are responsible for executing the stated heat-health standards in their respective locations with their linked employees. In addition, health centres, general practitioners, and social agencies are critical partners in monitoring those at high risk of harmful consequences from heatwaves.
