Extreme Heat

Getting too hot can make you sick. You can become ill from the heat if your body can't properly cool you off. Learn more about signs and symptoms of heat-related illnesses.


Older adults, young children, people with health conditions, people who work or exercise outdoors, and people who do not have access to air conditioning are at higher risk for heat-related illnesses. Take care of yourself and check on loved ones, friends, and neighbors when temperatures heat up.
