BEAT THE HEAT THIS SUMMER<br />
Heat stress and heat related illness pose<br />
a significant risk to our health and<br />
wellbeing. This summer, make sure<br />
you’re aware of what symptoms to look<br />
out for in yourself and your loved ones.<br />
Remember that the impact of heat<br />
accumulates, so several 35-degree days<br />
in a row can be just as dangerous as a<br />
single 45-degree day.<br />
Council has a range of tips and resources<br />
to help you manage heat stress, as well<br />
as places you can go to on hot days.<br />
