What does extreme heat risk look like in everyday life? This place-based case study explores how heat manifests in an urban context through a systems lens, examining the interconnected roles of housing and urban development, the natural environment, health, at-risk populations, workplaces and schools, disaster risk management and early warning systems, energy and critical infrastructure, and community awareness and cultural norms. This report forms part of the first Post-Event Review Capability (PERC) on extreme heat, with the findings unfolding across three interconnected reports: Understanding Extreme Heat and Entry Points for Action and Heat Stress at Work. Together, they build a layered picture of how extreme heat risk is shaped, experienced and addressed.
