.@ucla's Greg Pierce explains that urban water systems are built to handle a house, building or electrical fire. Municipal water systems have reserve tanks & are overbuilt by 20-40% to have enough water pressure to fight structure fires, not wildfires. #UCLALuskin LADWP City of Los Angeles

Heat kills, and the risks are growing. Health systems must adapt. At #WHA78, The Rockefeller Foundation & Wellcome announced $11.5M for the World Health Organization (WHO) - World Meteorological Organization Joint Programme. We are immensely grateful for this support and what it means for protecting people from #extremeheat!
