\nExtreme heat is one of the deadliest weather events in the United States\, and can exacerbate existing health conditions. And the effects aren’t experienced equally: th e impacts of extreme heat are greater in low-income and BIPOC neighborhood s\, where historic disinvestment has resulted in less access to green spac e\, fewer street trees\, and inadequate housing and cooling infrastructure . These impacts will likely be intensified as climate change causes temper atures to increase and humidity to rise.
