New California tool ranks extreme heat danger by neighborhood. Here's how it works | LAist
It’s going to be hot this summer. And a new tool can help you figure out the risk that the temperature can pose to your health.
The California Communities Extreme Heat Scoring System — which the state is calling CalHeatScore — can tell you the level of heat-related health risk you face and point you to cooling resources in your area.
This pilot program ranks risk from extreme heat into four categories, from mild to severe. A ranking of “severe,” for example, could correspond with a higher temperature inland, as opposed to at the beach.
