general aspects of multi-risk information management models, analytics, standard procedures/processes, multi-effect thresholds, situations and scenarios, excess deaths, emergency department visits for heat illness, evacuations, nature-based-solutions,
increasing number of grid failure events, outdoor and building-interior heat exposure, hourly indoor and outdoor heat exposures and person-level (stakeholder group) risk characteristics
