Extreme Heat

The Extreme Heat website provides information on the warning signs and symptoms of heat-related illness and offers prevention tips. It lists the populations that are the most vulnerable to extreme heat events, such as children, people who are pregnant, and people with chronic medical conditions, and discusses how to navigate extreme heat for each of these populations and how to respond if an individual is experiencing heat-related symptoms. The website offers fact sheets in multiple languages, including "FAQ: Extreme Heat and Public Health," "Heat and Your Health,"First-aid for Heat Illness," and "Caring for Your High-Risk Patients During a Heat Wave." It also provides a video and infographics on heat safety, and offers resources from Oregon OSHA as well as resources for community partners available in multiple languages.
