Red Cross Volunteers Fight to Reduce Heat Deaths in Phoenix Mobile Homes

Mobile homes in Phoenix, Arizona, are at the center of a troubling public health concern — residents living in these dwellings are dying from heat-related causes at a disproportionately high rate compared to other types of housing.

Red Cross volunteers have taken notice and are actively working to reduce the number of these preventable deaths. Their efforts are focused on reaching people in these communities before the extreme desert heat claims more lives.
