AZFamily: Hiker dies after being rescued from trail in Gold Canyon

"..Around 12:45 p.m., PCSO received a call from a group of five hikers in the Superstition Mountains. They were hiking from the Wave Cave trailhead. The hikers told crews they had been on the trail for six hours, and many of them were experiencing heat-related issues. ...A 33-year-old man in their group became unresponsive, and a bystander started CPR before medical crews arrived. ..."

Article in Sierra Magazine. As a Wilderness First Aid trainer, there are *so many* blaring alarms on the way to this fellow's ultimate demise. #heatstroke #heatillness #firstaid

From the article: "Glen Kenny, a physiology professor at the University of Ottawa, is also among those seeking more intel. Kenny studies heat impacts on the body, and used heat wave simulations to determine that a few hours in a cooling centers can reduce core body temperature and heart strain among elderly people exposed to extreme heat. But he also found that their body temperature spiked to pre-cooling levels within two hours of leaving air conditioning, putting people at risk of overexerting themselves just when they think they’re in the clear." https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2024-08-14/arizona-s-cooling-centers-hold-lessons-for-a-warming-planet #heatwaves #mitigation #heatillness #ClimateEmergency

Rack up another (another!) heat illness death in Death Valley this year!!

"A man died of heat exposure at Natural Bridge Trailhead on August 1,.Bystanders saw Robino stumble as he returned from the one-mile roundtrip Natural Bridge Trail. The bystanders offered to help Robino, but he declined. They said his responses did not make sense. Robino got in his car and drove off a steep 20-foot embankment at the edge of the parking lot. The car rolled over and airbags deployed.... ...NPS EMTs started CPR and moved Robino into the air-conditioned ambulance. Robino was declared dead at 4:42."

17. Staying cool and avoiding heat illness. A huge issue in recent years (just in general). Travel at night, not during the day. Stay in the shade. Drink often, know when you are hydrated/dehydrated. 11/x #disasters #DisasterPreparedness #heatwaves #HeatIllness #dehydration

More (from NBC): "Thousands of scouts in South Korea for a global event will receive more water trucks, air conditioned spaces and medics, officials said, after hundreds of the teenage participants fell ill this week due to unusually hot weather. At least 600 people at the World Scout Jamboree, which kicked off in southwestern Buan on Tuesday, have so far been treated for heat-related ailments, officials say." #scouting #jamboree #heatillness #heatwave https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/heatwave-world-scout-jamboree-south-korea-illness-high-temperatures-rcna98115

Apparently people dying in their homes from heat just doesn't make it into the news in Arizona. Not even one article about the two people I knew who died in Bullhead City, Arizona (at their second home... they have their first home at an expensive luxury retirement community in #ThousandOaks California) due to #heat last week, anywhere (!) #heatwaves #HeatIllness #AZwx

Oh crap... a retired couple I know from church appears to have BOTH succumbed to #HeatIllness -- died in their home. This #heatwave is no joke, folks.

A good rundown on how doctors are planning to handle increasing #heatwaves and #HeatIllness (one: have body bags pre-prepped so you can stuff live patients in there with bags of ice for rapid cooldown to prevent #heatstroke) https://www.statnews.com/2023/07/18/doctors-prepare-for-extreme-heat-climate-change/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=mastodon_organic
