Knowing how heat may be contributing to Californians passing out or dying could be happening in real time, but it’s not, potentially leaving communities more vulnerable.
“Communities that have lacked infrastructure on many levels for a long time and that are experiencing higher levels of heat,” Segura added.
The department also said the data may not represent all heat-related deaths that occurred during that time, adding there’s an average lag of approximately six to 12 months to get this type of information. “With the pandemic, we had sometimes daily numbers for how many people were hospitalized, how many people passed away. We want to get closer to that kind of tracking and monitoring for extreme heat,” Segura said.
