14 Ambulance Call Out a 37% increase in those 75 years or older; an 8 fold increase in direct heat related presentations (46% being aged 75 years and over); an almost 3 fold increase in patients dead on arrival (69% being 75 years or older).
15 Melbourne January 2009: Mortality There were 374 excess deaths over what would be expected: a 62% increase in total all cause mortality The greatest number of deaths occurred in those 75 years or older; a 64% increase Reportable deaths in those 65 years and older more than doubled.
16 Managing Heat Waves
17 Risk Management Cycle
18 Heat Plans: Essential Elements Establishment of collaborative mechanisms between bodies and institutions, and a lead body to coordinate responses; An accurate and timely alert system; Strategies to reduce individual and community exposure to heat; Particular care for vulnerable populations; Provision of health care, social services and infrastructure; Heat related health information strategies; Real time surveillance, evaluation and monitoring Source: Improving Public Health Responses to Extreme Weather/Heat Waves EuroHEAT Meeting Report, Bonn, March 2007
19 Possible Flow of Information Between Lead Agency and Other Actors in Heat Plan Lead Body: Regional Health Authority Real time surveillance system Accurate and timely alert system (HHWS): National Weather Service Health sector: hospitals, care homes GPs, pharmacies Local government Social services Retirement homes Schools and kindergartens Civil protection Transport Utilities Media General public, Vulnerable population groups Source:WMO Guidance Notes on HHWS (in prep)
20 Source:WMO Guidance Notes on HHWS (in prep) Operation of a Typical HHWS
21 HHWS in Europe. Source: EU EuroHeat Final Report data/assets/pdf_file/0018/112473/e91350.pdf
22 Time Scales in Meteorology short range: < = 3 days [hour day] HHWS medium range: < = 10 (15) days [day] monthly range: <= 1 month [week] seasonal range: <= 3 7 months [month season] annual range: <= 12 (13) months [season]

30 Conclusions Heat waves are a pervasive natural hazard (a silent killer) that can exact a heavy toll on human systems affecting health, livelihoods and infrastructure and also ecosystem services. European 2003 and Melbourne 2009 heat waves serve as good examples of the health effects of heat waves The Risk Management Cycle provides an appropriate context for managing heat risk Heat Plans are a way of managing heat risk.; the climate information component of heat plans is the heat health warning system (HHWS) HHWS warnings are issued when a threshold temperature is exceeded; threshold temperature represents the temperature above which health effects are known to increase. HHWS use short range (1 5 day) forecasts but medium range (5 15 day) forecasts may offer valuable longer lead information A longer term strategy for managing heat risk is climate sensitive building, urban design and town planing.

37 Proxies of Risk Factors Extracted From the Census
38 Map of 10 VI Classes
39 Surface Temperature During August 2003 Heatwave
40 Association Between Areas of High Vulnerability and High Surface Temperature (proxy of urban heat island)
41 Is The Vulnerability Index a Good Predictor of Mortality/Morbidity? Do areas with high VI scores have high mortality and/or ambulance call out for a group of very hot days and all summer days? VI better indicator of ambulance call out for all summer days Age better indicator of mortality for heat wave days
42 The increase of risk for increasing vulnerability scores and increasing age score when compared to class 1. The trend by vulnerability class for mortality is continuous. For the age score class, the mortality shows a similar trend, which is even stronger.
43 Conclusions Health is sensitive to heat (climate) especially during extreme (acute) heat events The understanding of the heat health association has reached a level where science can be converted into effective policy Health Warning: to be effective the mainstreaming of climate information into health planning is dependent on engaging with stakeholders in the heat health problem
