An important reminder that heat impacts people in different ways. Stay safe out there everyone!

[SFDPH @SF_DPH]

🔥 Heat can affect anyone, but some groups are more at risk.

Check on loved ones — especially those who:
👶 Are infants or young children
🤰 Are pregnant
💓 Have asthma, heart disease, or other chronic conditions
👵 Are over 65
🚶 Work or exercise outdoors

💡 If you or someone you know is in one of these groups, talk to your doctor about how to stay safe during hot weather.
