Stay SAFE During Extreme Heat
More than 265 million people have been facing temperatures over 90°F for days with little overnight reprieve. As a result, some of the most important health risks aren’t always obvious. It’s not just about the temperature you see on your weather app, and believe it or not, cranking up a fan can sometimes make things worse. To prevent risks from excessive heat, here are a few reminders:
If heat risks do occur, cool the body as soon as possible, and call 9-1-1 for symptoms of heat stroke. For guidance about extreme heat, visit our digital library on our Emergency Preparedness webpage to access guides in a variety of languages.
