Designing for Extreme Heat

Act as a policy strategist and resilience planner. Explain how a country can adapt its infrastructure, healthcare system, and public guidance for a future in which extreme heat is no longer rare. Cover the trade-offs between emergency response and long-term prevention, and include practical measures for hospitals, elder care, schools, transport, housing, and public spaces. End with a prioritized action plan for the next 12 months and the next 10 years.
