President Joe Biden is mobilizing an interagency effort to deal with the effects of extreme heat across the country, the White House announced Monday. Extreme heat is the leading weather-related cause of death in the US, the White House said in a fact sheet, citing record-setting temperatures over the summer and more intense and frequent heat waves due to climate change. "My Administration will not leave Americans to face this threat alone," Biden said in a statement. "Today, I am mobilizing an all-of-government effort to protect workers, children, seniors, and at-risk communities from extreme heat." * The compounding consequences of extreme heat don't fall equally across communities. * A recent study from the University of California, San Diego, found that low-income neighborhoods and communities with high Black, Hispanic and Asian populations experience significantly more heat than wealthier and predominantly White neighborhoods. And Black homeowners are nearly five times more likely than White families to own homes in these historically redlined communities, according to a study by Redfin.
