Socioeconomic indicators of heat-related health risk supplemented with remotely sensed data
International Journal of Health Geographics, 2009 Background Extreme heat events are the number one cause of weather-related fatalities in the United States. The current system of alert for extreme heat events does not take into account intra-urban spatial variation in risk. The purpose of this study is
