# Heatwave hospital readiness brief

For one US county, given its seat's coordinates. The forecast window found first sets the dates for every later step.

## 1. How bad and when

1. Read the next seven days with @[National Weather Service · Forecast daily](alexandria:api-weather-gov/weather/forecast_daily) and the hourly overnight lows with @[National Weather Service · Forecast hourly](alexandria:api-weather-gov/weather/forecast_hourly). Hot nights that do not cool down drive admissions as much as daytime highs.
2. Check @[National Weather Service · Alerts active](alexandria:api-weather-gov/weather/alerts_active) for heat advisories or excessive heat warnings in effect.
3. Compare the forecast highs with the same month's baseline from @[NASA POWER · Climate normals](alexandria:power-larc-nasa-gov/weather-history/climate_normals) and report the anomaly in degrees.

## 2. Who is at risk

4. Resolve the county with @[US Census Bureau · Geographies](alexandria:census-gov/census/geographies), then pull population 65 and over and people 65 and over living alone from @[US Census Bureau · Data](alexandria:census-gov/census/data) (acs/acs5, latest vintage).

## 3. Who absorbs the surge

5. List hospitals in the county's cities with @[CMS Care Compare · Hospitals](alexandria:data-cms-gov/clinician-procedure-volume/hospitals), then read star ratings and measure detail for the largest with @[CMS Care Compare · Hospital](alexandria:data-cms-gov/clinician-procedure-volume/hospital).
6. List nursing homes with @[CMS Care Compare · Nursing homes](alexandria:data-cms-gov/clinician-procedure-volume/nursing_homes); facilities with low staffing ratings need cooling checks first.

- **Capacity:** hospitals and nursing homes to contact, with ratings.
- **Actions:** cooling-centre timing and facility checks, ordered by date.
