A cautionary tale and a warning for other cities' future heat disasters:
"What truly makes #Phoenix’s slow-motion heat disaster so deadly is the government’s struggle to protect vulnerable citizens.
People experiencing #homelessness made up 45% of the county’s heat-related deaths last year.
And none of the 156 people who died indoors last year had functioning air conditioning. In 85% of those cases, AC units were present but broken."
