2nd DRAFT MOOC FOR CAREGIVERS

Extreme temperatures are the cause of excess morbidity and mortality in our societies. Real-time condition updates during the ongoing event could help prevent the consequences. We have developed a tool that can spot out in real time the city areas that suffer most during the ongoing event, indicating thus where the victims are to be expected. EXTREMA uses real-time satellite data and other model and city-specific data to estimate the temperature, humidity, and discomfort index for every square kilometre in the city. Temperature estimates are updated every 5 minutes, providing data at a spatial and temporal resolution that is unavailable from any other service.
