Abstract

Ces résultats corroborent les conclusions d’autres travaux. Les vagues de chaleur (surtout celle de juin), sont en lien avec un nombre plus élevé d’interventions des services d’ambulances. Outre certains facteurs géographiques, météorologiques et sociaux qui ont sans doute eu un effet protecteur, la réponse des systèmes d’interventions d’urgence a probablement aussi contribué à une certaine réduction de la mortalité.
