A text or call might not be enough to help keep someone safe when it’s hot. Invite them over to cool off in your A/C or offer to go see a movie, or hang out together at the library or mall. Prepare for summer heat now, call 211 to see what resources are available.

🔥#Heat illness can happen to anyone. Our bodies change! Heat might affect you differently this year than it did last year. Some groups need extra care: babies, ages 50+, people who live alone, don’t have A/C, or work outside or indoors without A/C.

The next generation isn’t waiting, they’re leading. This Earth Day, we recognize that young people hold the power to shape a future where our ocean is protected, respected, and restored. Whether it’s advocating for change, rethinking our habits, or inspiring others to care, every step forward creates a ripple effect.

Protecting children’s health begins with reducing exposure when air quality is poor. Air pollution is associated with harmful health effects in children. Check the AQI, limit outdoor activity on poor air days, and avoid high-traffic areas when possible. https://t.co/tOlQj1ei4E
Today is Earth Day! The theme for this year is “our power, our planet”. When we work together to show love to our planet Earth, we make progress towards a better future.
