Mapping combined wildfire and heat stress hazards to improve evidence-based decision making [PDF]

, 2019
Heat stress and forest fires are often considered highly correlated hazards as extreme temperatures play a key role in both occurrences. This commonality can influence how civil protection and local responders deploy resources on the ground and could ...
