Kais Bothe seeks relief from searing temperatures in Edmonton, Alberta, on June 30, 2021.
Across the Pacific Northwest and into Canada, a record-breaking heat wave has pushed death tolls into staggering territory. In British Columbia alone, at least 500 heat-related deaths have been recorded since last Friday. In Oregon, 95 deaths have been attributed to scorching temperatures, as well as about 20 in Washington.
The past week has brought unprecedented temperatures to a region of North America ill-equipped to handle extreme heat as authorities struggle to respond to thousands of emergency calls, hundreds of deaths, and explosive wildfires. The unprecedented event is also a sign of more danger to come as climate change leads to more extreme weather across the country.

The Downtown Emergency Service Center (DESC) operates several low-barrier shelters in Seattle. They serve the chronically homeless population, including those with addictions so severe they’ve stayed on the streets for, in some cases, years. Rather than offering a regimented, tough approach, DESC helps keep them addicted with what some claim is a harm-reduction strategy.
