New National Heat Index Uses USGS Data | U.S. Geological Survey

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has debuted a Heat and Health Index to help residents understand how likely they are to feel adverse effects of heat in their community. Among the index’s data sources is the National Land Cover Database (NLCD), produced at the USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center.
