# Heat risk in Rhode Island
Heat, or hot weather, is the leading weather-related cause of death in the U.S.[^NWShazards] Between 1999 and 2010, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control recorded over 8,000 heat-related deaths in the U.S.[^CDCpicture] Heat-related hospitalizations or emergency department visits are estimated to be at least 10 times the death rate.[^Samuelson2020] Heat exhaustion and heat stroke are the most serious heat-related illnesses. Exposure to excessive heat can directly or indirectly cause some illnesses and can exacerbate many preexisting conditions, such as heart and lung disease. People at greatest risk for heat-related illness include children under 5 years of age, people 65 years of age and older, people who are overweight or have existing medical conditions, such as diabetes and heart disease, people who are socially isolated, and low income individuals.[^CDCpicture]
Risk of exposure to excessive heat tends to be higher for people who work outside (e.g., agriculture, construction, and landscaping), and for those living in densely developed urban areas where there is a dearth of vegetation and an abundance of dense materials such as asphalt and concrete that absorb heat and release it more slowly (i.e., urban heat island effect). However, risk of heat-related illness or death varies within urban environments due to a variety of mitigating factors, especially age, race, and wealth.[^Williams2020] Exposure to higher temperatures than a population is accustomed to can also make people more vulnerable to heat-related illnesses and death. Although Rhode Island experiences a generally cool climate, research has shown that people in this state are actually more sensitive to elevated temperatures than those living in warmer states of the country.[^Hondula2015]
Climate change is increasing average global temperatures, as well as the frequency, duration, and severity of extreme heat events.[^IPCCsummary] In the contiguous U.S., annual average temperatures have increased by 1.2°F (0.7°C) over the last few decades and by 1.8°F (1.0°C) relative to the beginning of the 20th century. These changes are happening more quickly in the Northeast. Average annual temperatures have increased by about 3°F (1.7°C) or more in Rhode Island since 1901. By 2050, average annual temperatures in the Northeast are projected to increase by up to 5.1°F (2.8°C) relative to the period 1975–2005, with several more days of extreme heat occurring throughout the state each year.[^4thNatlAssessment] The combination of rapidly increasing temperatures and higher sensitivity puts people in Rhode Island at especially high risk of heat-related illness and death.
The heat risk analysis presented here is based on Land Surface Temperatures (LST) derived from NASA's Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) satellite sensor.[^MODIS11] Unlike ambient air temperature measured by ground-based weather stations, LST is a measure of the radiant energy (i.e., emissivity) of the ground or surface. LST values tend to be slightly higher than ambient air temperatures, but are highly correlated with air temperatures. Abundant research has shown that satellite-derived LST is an acceptable proxy for air temperature.[^Kloog2014] Moreover, while weather stations are sparsely and unevenly distributed, satellite-derived LST has the advantage of providing an unbroken and continuous snapshot of temperature at high resolution across the state at any given moment.
The MODIS data used here covers average day and night LST for an 8-day period from July 28 to August 4, 2019 for the entire state. That week constituted the conclusion of a historically warm July for Rhode Island This data originates at 1km spatial resolution and was extracted to average temperatures at each Census Block Group separately for day-night averages, daytime, nighttime, and urban heat island effects. LST data was validated against ground weather station data for the same time periods (see Appendix A).

## Day-Night Average Land Surface Temperatures
Day-Night Average Land Surface Temperatures (LST) represent a simple average of LST values collected during the day (11:48am - 2pm) and during the night (12am - 3:06am) over eight days, from July 28 to August 4, 2019. These day-night average temperatures varied significantly across Rhode Island, with highest temperatures apparent around Providence and Pawtucket (see Figure \@ref(fig:mapLSTavgRI)).

Figure \@ref(fig:boxplotLSTavgRI) is a boxplot of average day-night temperatures by Block Group . The box represents temperatures ranging between the 25th and 75th percentiles. The line that divides the box into 2 parts represents the median temperature for all Block Groups, which in this case is `r round(median(ri_blkgrpLST_sf$meanAvgLST, na.rm = TRUE),2)`°. Half of the state's Block Groups are below the median and half are above the median. Each dot represents an individual Block Group. The top ten highest outlier Block Groups (far right) were found in the following municipalities: `r ri_LST24outliers`.

### Day-Night Average Urban Heat Island Effect
The urban heat island (UHI) effect is a phenomenon in which temperatures in urban areas tend to be higher than surrounding non-urban or rural areas. These elevated urban air temperatures are a consequence of the high density of buildings, roads, and other impervious infrastructure in urban areas that absorb heat and release it more slowly. The UHI effect is compounded by the relative absence of vegetation which would otherwise moderate temperatures through evaporative cooling.[^Zhou2019] Higher summer temperatures due to UHI increase the risk of heat-related illnesses, result in increased energy use for air conditioning, and exacerbate air pollution, especially ground-level ozone. As the climate warms, UHI are likely to exacerbate both temperature and air pollution risks.
The UHI effect analyzed here is defined as the difference in temperature between urbanized areas and rural areas in Rhode Island.[^urban] Specifically, the average temperature of the rural areas of Rhode Island is subtracted from the average temperatures of each Census Block Group. The resulting value shows how much warmer or cooler each Census Block Group is when compared to the rural background reference. Positive values indicate that a Census Block Group is warmer than the rural background average and may be experiencing the UHI effect. The larger the value, the stronger the effect.
The UHI effect for day-night average temperatures in Rhode Island are most pronounced in the inner core of urbanized areas (see Figure \@ref(fig:mapUHIavgRI)), particularly around Providence and Pawtucket. Temperatures in these areas are up to `r round(max(ri_blkgrpLST_sf$UHI24avg, na.rm = TRUE),1)`° warmer than the rural background average. By contrast, most of the western half of the state is closer to the rural average.

In addition to variations in the general geography of Land Surface Temperatures (LST), temperature exposure also varies demographically. Figure \@ref(fig:plotLST24hrTempPopAvgRI) and Table \@ref(tab:tabLST24hrPopAvgRI) show population-weighted exposures for priority populations relative to the day-night average LST for the state of `r round(mean(ri_blkgrpLST_sf$meanAvgLST,na.rm=TRUE),1)`°. For example, minority persons in Rhode Island, as defined by the state's environmental justice policy, were exposed to a population-weighted day-night average LST of `r round(max(LST24hrPop$LST24hrwMean),1)`°, approximately `r round(max(LST24hrPop$LST24hrwMean) - max(LST24hrPop$LST24hrMean),1)`° (`r LST24hrPopTab[7,4]`) above the state day-night average LST. Similarly, low income persons, as defined by the state's environmental justice policy, were exposed to a population-weighted day-night average LST of `r LST24hrPop %>% filter(Group == "RI Low Income") %>% summarize(round(max(LST24hrwMean),1)) %>% pull()`°, over `r round(LST24hrPop %>% filter(Group == "RI Low Income") %>% summarize(max(LST24hrwMean)) %>% pull() - max(LST24hrPop$LST24hrMean),1)`° (`r LST24hrPopTab[6,4]`) above the state day-night average LST. By contrast, persons over age 64 were, on average, exposed to population-weighted day-night average LSTs of `r LST24hrPopTab[5,2]`, which is `r LST24hrPopTab[5,3]` (`r LST24hrPopTab[5,4]`) below the state average.

Figure \@ref(fig:plotUHI24hrTempPopAvgRI) and Table \@ref(tab:tabUHI24hrPopAvgRI) show population-weighted exposures for priority populations relative to the day-night average Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect for Rhode Island. All priority populations are exposed to the UHI effect on average. Indeed, the average UHI effect across Rhode Island is approximately `r round(mean(ri_blkgrpLST_sf$UHI24avg,na.rm=TRUE),1)`°. However, some populations experience significantly higher UHI effects. For example, minority persons in Rhode Island, as defined by the state's environmental justice policy, were exposed to a population-weighted day-night average UHI effect of `r round(max(UHI24hrPop$UHI24hrwMean),1)`° above the rural average. This value is more than `r round(max(UHI24hrPop$UHI24hrwMean) - max(UHI24hrPop$UHI24hrMean),1)`° (`r UHI24hrPopTab[7,4]`) above the state day-night average UHI.
