As temperatures rise, people with disabilities may face additional challenges during extreme heat. Some individuals may have difficulty regulating body temperature, recognizing signs of heat illness, communicating discomfort, or accessing cooling locations.

Here are a few ways we can help:
Check in on family members, friends, neighbors, and caregivers who may need extra support.
Don't forget service animals and pets—they need plenty of water and a cool place to rest, too.
Know the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke, and seek medical help immediately if symptoms become severe.

A simple phone call, text, or visit can make a big difference. Together, we can help ensure everyone stays safe during periods of extreme heat this week!
