This app aims to provide information about the community risks to two important climate hazards in Essex County: floods and extreme heat. The app maps the spatial distributions of highly exposed places and most vulnerable populations. The risk of a neighbourhood to a climate hazard is determined as a function of its exposure to the hazard and its social vulnerability to the hazard.
