Shipwaves Multi-Modal Freight Calculator helps our customers to gain complete visibility on the end to end shipment cost with high transparency and reliability. Those inequalities are expected to widen, as heat waves become more common and more severe as a result of climate change, placing additional strain on cooling resources for public health and safety.Shippers Globally have always wanted to estimate the total cost involved in the end-to-end movement of the cargo. For instance, neighborhoods in low-income areas like South Los Angeles send an additional 20 to 30 people to the emergency room on heat days compared to two additional people from wealthier neighborhoods just a few miles away, Eisenman said. “We estimate that an additional 16 people die on a single day of heat in Los Angeles County.”īlack and Latino communities experience the worst health impacts during extreme heat events, he added, with excess deaths up to 18% when compared to white people in Los Angeles. David Eisenman, director of the Center for Public Health and Disasters at the University of California, Los Angeles. “On any day with extreme heat, emergency rooms in Los Angeles see an additional 1,500 patients,” said Dr. That disproportionate impact can mean upticks in emergency calls and hospital visits during heat waves. Energy Information Administration’s summer energy outlook. The average price of residential electricity is projected to rise nearly 4% over last summer, according to the U.S. Department of Energy says low-income families often spend about 8.6% of their budgets on energy - nearly three times what higher income families pay.

Inflation and rising energy prices have a disproportionate impact.

“A lot of them won’t turn it on because they’re afraid if they can’t pay their bills they’ll get evicted.” “We have a lot of people who either do not have air conditioning in an old house or they can’t afford to turn it on,” Gehring said. He said many people were being squeezed by the cost of cooling, which has only been exacerbated this year by inflation and high energy prices. Chuck Gehring, president and CEO of the LifeCare Alliance, which has about 30,000 clients in central Ohio, said the organization’s volunteers called more than 1,500 clients Tuesday to check on their cooling and food needs.
