California is struggling with the twin threats of extreme heat and power outages

Henna Hundal Sat, July 16, 2022 at 6:01 AM Los Angeles

Last month, more than 24,000 Bay Area residents experienced a power outage when a local fire affected PG&E equipment.

As a medical student at Stanford, I was on campus during the blackout, which lasted for days as temperatures soared over 100 degrees. Shortly before the outage, the National Weather Service had released a heat advisory signaling “the onset of extremely dangerous heat conditions.”

These overlapping threats of extreme heat and power outages expose the ways our state is unevenly and inadequately prepared to keep residents safe.

My community was fortunate: The university had the resources to mobilize relief quickly. Within hours, officials opened respite spaces for students to cool off in and hydrate. People could refrigerate medications, parents could store breast milk and those needing power for their medical devices could request support.

But this type of coordinated response is rare — even though it is increasingly essential as California scorches under heat waves that strain our energy infrastructure and create deadly conditions for human health.

At the center of this vicious cycle is climate change, which is tied to the increasing frequency of extreme heat events. On blisteringly hot days, more people are using power for longer periods to keep cool, creating conditions that can overload the system. And heat increases fire hazards, which in turn can lead to more outages.

Without power and proper resources to withstand the heat, residents are vulnerable to heat strokes, fainting, exhaustion, cramps and rash. During a heat wave last year when triple-digit temperatures gripped Sacramento and the Coachella Valley, the number of emergency room visits surged tenfold.

We are only recently beginning to grasp the true scale of the problem. A Los Angeles Times investigation found last year that California underestimates the number of deaths related to extreme heat by as much as sixfold. Its counts are based on death certificates that reference heat, but they don’t factor in deaths during extreme heat periods that might not have heat cited as an underlying cause or contributing factor. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has similar gaps in tracking heat-related deaths.

Unsurprisingly, the effects of heat are unequal. Households of color are less likely to have air conditioners, and a 2019 study found they experienced the greatest increase in emergency department visits for heat-related illnesses, deepening existing health disparities. Low-income neighborhoods, the elderly and young children are also especially vulnerable.

This emerging picture of the human costs, coupled with projections of how climate change will drive up these costs, renders extreme heat nothing short of a health crisis for California. Yet we don’t have a strong, widely available toolkit to tackle it.

For starters, heat advisories that serve as the first warning to the public often suggest avoiding the outdoors. This advice makes little difference when heat-related power outages leave the indoors just as scorching.

Moreover, when wind, heat and dry conditions combine, utilities often preemptively shut off power to avert fire hazards. This can prove especially dangerous for people on electricity-dependent medical devices. When PG&E initiated widespread power shutoffs across northern California in 2019, the decision impacted nearly 30,000 consumers with medical needs such as dialysis machines and ventilators.

Utilities advise people in those situations to buy backup generators, but not everyone can afford that option or find backup supplies even if they try. During the 2019 shutoffs, people needing medical devices or refrigerated medications struggled to survive without power for several days. Patients complained of receiving insufficient notice of the shutoffs.

For a state that touts its climate consciousness, we have a long way to go to develop a vigorous public health response.

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s recently released “Extreme Heat Action Plan” offers a promising start. The plan endorses steps such as funding new cooling centers, improving Californians’ access to air conditioning, engaging healthcare stakeholders to support patients affected by extreme weather and accelerating “readiness and protection of communities most impacted by extreme heat.” To ensure these steps become meaningful strides rather than just promises, the state should release annual progress reports including deadlines for the most urgent recommendations — such as readiness plans for communities that don’t have enough cooling center capacity.

I am beginning my career as California’s summers get hotter and hotter. I want to know that my future patients, regardless of their needs or circumstances, will have the resources to stay safe.

Mark 13:35; Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning.

Luke 21:36; Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man

Luke 12:37-39; Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants. And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.

Jesus Christ’s Offer of Salvation:

The ABCs of Salvation through Jesus Christ (the Lamb)

A. Admit/Acknowledge/Accept that you are sinner. Ask God’s forgiveness and repent of your sins.

. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” (1 John 1:8).

B. Believe Jesus is Lord. Believe that Jesus Christ is who He claimed to be; that He was both fully God and fully man and that we are saved through His death, burial, and resurrection. Put your trust in Him as your only hope of salvation. Become a son or daughter of God by receiving Christ.

. . . “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:15-17). For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13).

C. Call upon His name, Confess with your heart and with your lips that Jesus is your Lord and Savior.

. . . “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:9-10).

. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” (John 1:8-10).

. . . “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (John 2:2).

. . . “In this was manifested the love of god toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.” (1 John 4:9, 14-15).

. . . “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” (Romans 5:8-10).

. . . “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23).

. . . “Jesus saith unto them, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6).

. . . “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth.” (Romans 1:16).

. . . “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts: 4:12).

. . . “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth for there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:4-6).
