Arizona's new heat officer Dr. Eugene Livar is trying to get a head start on excessive heat awareness after a record hot summer in the state last year.

Arizona’s new heat officer said Friday that he is working with local governments and nonprofit groups to open more cooling centers and ensure homes have working air conditioners this summer in a more unified effort to prevent another ghastly toll of heat-related deaths, which topped 900 statewide last year."We don’t want to see that happen again," Dr. Eugene Livar said of last year’s deaths. "We cannot control it, even though we can control our preparation in response.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention last month presented a new online heat-risk system that combines meteorological and medical risk factors with a seven-day forecast that is simplified and color-coded for a warming world of worsening heat waves.Last summer, Phoenix experienced the hottest three months since record-keeping began in 1895, including the hottest July and the second-hottest August.
