A recent data collection effort and study led by the @BuffettInst's Defusing Disasters Working Group, co-led by Professors @danethanNU and @GeorgeChiampas with members including @ChiPublicHealth's @reedmonseur and @chicago's Kyra Woods, showed that neighborhoods on the city’s South Side were the hottest, and residents there were the most vulnerable to extreme weather. Read the full story on the data and what's being done in @Borderless_Mag: borderlessmag.org/2024/01/29…
