A technique for satellite mapping of the specific number of deaths and damages due to overheating of the urban environment has been developed. Knowledge of these epidemiological and economic indicators is necessary for information support of the management decision-making system aimed to parrying the threats to public health caused by climate warming. The city of Helsinki (Finland) was chosen as the object of study. The materials were a series of 32 scenes of the Landsat satellites obtained over the period 2007–2019 and the results of standard urgent observations at weather stations. A theoretical basis of the algorithm of satellite mapping of the specific number of deaths and specific economic damage caused by overheating of the urban environment is given. The final results are presented in the form of digital maps of the specific number of deaths caused by overheating of the urban environment and the specific density of economic damage caused by these deaths. The heterogeneity of the spatial distribution of deaths and losses is demonstrated. It is shown that in Helsinki, not only the historical center of the city with dense buildings, but also areas of low-rise buildings located far from the Gulf of Finland are characterized by a high potential mortality from overheating of the urban environment. It is hypothesized that this phenomenon is due to the cooling effect of the cold air masses of the Gulf of Finland on the urban environment of the historical center of Helsinki.
