Health Vulnerability Heat Waves Satellite Qualitative Insight

This research study aims to map land surface temperatures (LST) and identify vulnerable areas affected by extreme heat conditions. It explores community adaptation strategies to cope with these conditions and estimates a heat vulnerability index to assess the susceptibility of different regions. The findings will provide crucial insights for developing targeted interventions to mitigate the adverse impacts of extreme heat on vulnerable populations.
