The findings proved the necessity of developing warning techniques in summer. Public health workers should take action to educate communities on the health risks of heat waves and teach them how important it is to reduce exposure to heat and increase access to a cool environment. Policymakers should execute an early warning system to control negative heat wave impacts on patients, including early alerts and advisories, and implement various emergency measures to mitigate the heat dangers.
