About Heat and Your Health

The About Heat and Your Health website provides an overview of how extreme heat impacts health and what steps individuals and communities can take to prepare and respond. The resource includes information on how to stay cool and hydrated, identifies populations who are most at risk on hot days, and outlines the symptoms of overheating that could be a sign to seek medical care. The website urges families to create a Heat Action Plan and provides information on how to check your local HeatRisk and air quality. You can also use this resource to find nearby Cooling Centers for the public to utilize when temperatures are high.
