Prevalence of Energy Burden in a South Phoenix Community and Implications for Public Health
Background: Energy insecurity, the inability of households to meet their basic energy needs, can exacerbate adverse health conditions in residents of those households. This is a critical issue for many Maricopa County neighborhoods with high rates of heat-associated mortality. Methods: In 2021, the Maricopa County Department of Public Health and community partners launched a survey in a South Phoenix community (zip codes 85040, 85041, and 85042) …
It’s not the heat, it’s the vulnerability
Health risk assessments for extreme heat and the design of corresponding interventions can be enhanced with more information regarding causal drivers of year-to-year variability in adverse outcomes. Summer 2016 was a record-setting year in terms of summer heat and its impacts on health in Maricopa County, Arizona, USA. The month of June was the warmest observed in the county and the six-month warm season spanning May through October was the fourt…
Assessing Adaptation Strategies for Extreme Heat
Preventing heat-associated morbidity and mortality is a public health priority in Maricopa County, Arizona (United States). The objective of this project was to evaluate Maricopa County cooling centers and gain insight into their capacity to provide relief for the public during extreme heat events. During the summer of 2014, 53 cooling centers were evaluated to assess facility and visitor characteristics. Maricopa County staff collected data by d…
