AB  - The  human  body  maintains  a  steady  temperature  through  the  balance  of  internal  heat  production  and  environmental  heat  loss.  Heat  exchange  between  the  body  and  environment  occurs  via  four  common  processes:  radiation,  evaporation,  conduction,  and  convection.  In  extreme  temperatures,  the  body’s  thermoregulation  may  fail,  resulting  in  the  core  body  temperature  moving  toward  the  temperature  of  the  external  environment.  Cold  and  heat  exposure  may  cause  a  wide  spectrum  of  conditions  ranging  in  severity  from  mild,  to  potentially  life-threatening,  to  death.  Many  of  these  conditions  are  preventable  with  appropriate  education  and  planning.  Preventive  measures  must  be  implemented  on  an  individual  and  population  level.
