Heat-Wave Morgue Overflow

Heat Drives Death Surges

Prolonged heat waves can multiply daily deaths in a region within days, especially among vulnerable populations. The surge arrives fast and concentrates in exactly the cities least able to absorb it.

Plan Overflow Before Summer

The time to arrange overflow is before the forecast, not during the crisis. A standing plan — with identified rapid-deploy units and a supplier on call — turns a heat emergency into a known procedure.

Rapid-Deploy Storage

Pop-up and container storage adds refrigerated capacity in hours, not weeks. It is the practical answer to a surge that cannot wait for construction.

Keep the Cold On

Overflow storage must stay genuinely refrigerated through the hottest days. Properly rated units plus monitoring ensure surge capacity holds range when ambient temperatures are extreme.
