Advancing extreme heat risk assessments to better capture individually-experienced temperatures: A new approach to describe individual and subgroup vulnerabilities
When IETs can be estimated or directly measured, person-specific eOATs can be used to estimate the subgroup-specific heat-health burdens that would be experienced without adaptive behaviors. This approach could be adapted for other contexts to inform climate preparedness and justice policies. https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP15223.
