Results demonstrated a heterogeneous spatial distribution of the identified case studies about heat and health in the urban context and highlighted different characteristics related to climate hazard, exposure, vulnerability and enhanced exposure factors in relation to the health of the population. Finally, when looking at enhanced exposure, groups of determinants of vulnerability, divided between those describing indoor and outdoor environment conditions were analysed. For sensitivity and adaptive capacity aspects, the study considered four distinct categories of determinants: mental and physical health, demographics, social and economic status. Then, the specific hazard parameters, divided in simple or combined weather indices, were evaluated. First, the information related to the study area were analysed, taking into consideration the level of resolution to investigate the scale of analysis. Peer-reviewed articles with no language limitations were searched from the first available record subjected to the imposed selection criteria. To investigate vulnerabilities to heat, the study illustrates how vulnerability factors together with the hazard and the urban parameters determine the nexus between the heat and the health outcome, here called heat-health nexus.
The compact urban settings of cities, the dependency on infrastructural systems as well as the larger concentration of people and economic activities make urban areas particularly vulnerable to health risks due to heat.
Keep your card in its sleeve when not in use.Of all-natural disasters, extreme high temperatures events are the main cause of weather-related mortality. When you need to access your enhanced license or ID, remove it from its protective sleeve. The sleeve shields your enhanced license or ID from unauthorized RFID readers. The unique reference number is only activated when read by an RFID scanner.Įnhanced licenses and IDs will be mailed with a special sleeve that can be used to store the card. by land or sea, your unique RFID number will be referenced against a secured database to verify your identity for border-crossing purposes. The unique reference number assigned to your RFID chip allows the Customs and Border Protection agent to verify your identity and citizenship quickly and accurately. The RFID chip doesn’t include any personal information, just a unique reference number. The chip is part of the Radio Frequency Identification security system, which is a wireless technology that stores and retrieves data remotely. Your enhanced license or ID contains a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip to facilitate border crossings and homeland security efforts.
