Every day the Ministry of Health establishes a daily risk level for each territorial area based on the difference between the temperatures predicted by AEMET for that day and for the following two days and the intensity of the healthy impact temperature.
There are four levels of risk: level 0 (green), no risk; level 1 (amarillo), low; level 2 (naranja), medium risk and level 3 (red), high risk. In function of the mismos, Sanità and CCAA toman medidas de communication and prevention of risk.
