A visual representation Heat Waves: understanding Hazard, Risk and Vulnerability

The Problem…..

 Heat waves result in a significant increase in morbidity and mortality amongst vulnerable populations

 evidence suggests that vulnerability will increase over time through a combination of social, economic and health related factors.

The Hazard: a visual context

Sustained periods of above average temperatures….

Doesn’t cool down at night…..

Absorption of heat by the urban environment….

Conditions out of context for a given community….

The Risks: let’s try to understand….  Global Warming…the earth is warming up…

Urban heat islands…a “cement jungle”

Lack of Air Conditioning…its not a luxury!

Lack of shade…no oasis?

Poor housing conditions…getting out of the kitchen does not mean what you might think!

Who is Vulnerable? The elderly…..

 Disabled….

 Homeless…

 Mentally ill and Socially isolated….

 Occupational Vulnerability

How are we Vulnerable?  Climate Change….

 Urban inhabitants….

 Heat related illness….

 Increase in violent behavior….

 Exacerbation of Chronic Disease

In summary….  A hazard is not a disaster without risk and vulnerable populations  The images within this slideshow are designed twofold: to help explain the problem and to provoke your imagination to seek solutions to this conundrum!  Please stay with us…and help us to create some recommendations regarding heat waves in a disaster management context!
