Extreme temperatures are associated with millions of deaths annually worldwide, including 300,000 in Western Europe alone. Many European countries have implemented early warning systems during heatwaves. However, these systems are generally based on temperature thresholds from weather forecasts and do not account for inequalities in the vulnerability of exposed populations.

The EU-funded HHS-EWS project aims to develop the first operational Heat-Health-Social Early Warning System (HHS-EWS), which will reflect the health impacts of environmental temperatures in order to better inform potential end-users, such as public health agencies, enabling them to activate emergency plans targeting vulnerable groups.

The system will integrate weather forecasting, environmental epidemiology and the social determinants of vulnerability.
