The heat is the story.
Heat is the leading weather-related cause of death in the United States. Most of those deaths are preventable with shade, water, and a schedule that respects the afternoon.
- Work outside before 10 a.m. or after 7 p.m.
- Drink 4–8 oz every 15–20 minutes, not all at once.
- Confusion plus hot skin is a 911 call, not a nap.
- Call 2-1-1 for cooling centers and utility help.
