Episode Details

The Netherlands is dangerously unprepared for extreme heat, according to a new report from the Netherlands Institute for Public Safety. After a record-breaking June heatwave pushed temperatures above 39°C, healthcare, infrastructure, and emergency services were overwhelmed. The institute calls for a unified national crisis plan — not just for health, but for work, education, transport, and public order — since heat is a “borderless” societal threat. Current efforts are fragmented across municipalities, with no coordinated strategy. The NIPV urges security regions to develop clearer, evidence-based emergency plans now — before climate change makes deadly heatwaves the new normal.
