Extreme cold in February 2021 precipitated prolonged power failure in Texas. In Houston, many patients presented for carbon monoxide exposure from neighborhoods with lower per capita income, higher rates of limited English proficiency, and greater median Social Vulnerability Indices than Greater Houston. Weather-related disasters disproportionately affect socially vulnerable communities.
2021年2月的严寒导致得克萨斯州长时间停电。在休斯敦,许多因一氧化碳中毒前来就医的患者来自人均收入较低、英语水平有限率较高且社会脆弱性指数中位数高于大休斯敦地区的社区。与天气相关的灾害对社会脆弱社区的影响尤为严重。
