ALT An Easter-themed graphic stating "Don't put all your eggs in one basket," referring to having more than one source of receiving weather warnings and information. Various sources include: NOAA Weather radio, local TV and radio, wireless emergency alerts, family, friends, co-workers, outdoor sirens, the internet/weather.gov, and weather apps on your mobile phone.
Coordination of heat action plans between public health, municipalities and communites is essential. Also consider dedicated Public Health Extreme Heat Office. @AMJPublicHealth @Maricopahealth @asuresilience #publichealth #Heat #climate #equity

It’s never too early to get #HeatReady! Agencies from all over the nation gathered together at @ASU @SkySong_Scotts to discuss all things heat.
Do you know how hot your kid's schoolyard can be? Is your school a HeatReady School? @asuresilience

ALL the world's children will be exposed to frequent heat waves (which are deadly). All of them. Even yours.
If you're working your ass off to make sure your children have a "successful" future but you're not fighting the people promoting fossil fuels, what are you even doing?
A new report from UNICEF estimates that nearly all the world’s children — more than 2 billion — will be exposed to high heat-wave frequency by 2050.

UPS drivers are sharing thermometer reads from inside their trucks. UPS CEOs would never accept working in 120 or 130-degree offices. Drivers shouldn't have to either.
