Climate Risks for Older Adults Revealed | Hartford News
Description
A new climate dashboard from Yale reveals how extreme weather like heat waves and floods disproportionately hit older adults across counties—with Hartford at 67% and The Bronx at nearly 95% risk. Using mortality data from 2007 to 2020, the tool aims to spotlight health vulnerabilities and guide local policy as climate impacts intensify. With federal climate monitoring efforts scaled back, experts warn that reliable, up-to-date data is critical—and they’re pushing for funding to predict future risks and protect vulnerable communities.
