Residents of 152 cities and towns in the Pacific Northwest are particularly vulnerable to climate-fueled wildfires. Residents of 60 other communities are most susceptible to floods. And people living in 75 towns are most liable to suffer maybe even die because of heat waves.

It drills down to towns where, for example, sparse tree canopies and older residences make communities more susceptible to heat waves than younger populations in leafier places.
