| Abstract: | "I like to think of Los Angeles, or whatever city, as a patient that is suffering from extreme heat, and what would we prescribe that patient", de Guzman says. "I often talk about heat as the silent killer, because it doesn't get the headlines that tornadoes, flooding, and blizzards get", says Jonathan Porter, chief meteorologist at the forecasting service AccuWeather. People who have to be outside - construction workers, mail carriers, the unhoused - are among those most at risk of heat-related illness and death, says Edith de Guzman, director and cofounder of the Los Angeles Urban Cooling Collaborative.
