Disaster Med Public Health Prep. 2025 Mar 27;19:e73. doi: 10.1017/dmp.2025.76.

ABSTRACT

The devastating effects of heatwaves and the deficiencies in current response strategies disproportionately affect specific individuals and populations,1,2 underscoring the urgent need for effective solutions. Lessons from past heat events emphasise the importance of preparedness and effective response strategies.2 Understanding the dangers of heatwaves involves recognizing not only individual health impacts but also broader environmental and societal consequences.3 Heat-related illnesses, such as heat exhaustion and heatstroke, can be fatal but are preventable.2.
