Surviving Extreme Heat
Manage episode 295612587 series 2841122
In This Episode:
Heat is the number one weather-related killer. Heat kills by pushing the human body beyond its limits. In extreme heat and high humidity, evaporation is slowed and the body must work extra hard to maintain a normal temperature.
Most heat disorders occur because the victim has been overexposed to heat or has over-exercised for his or her age and physical condition. Older adults, young children, and those who are sick or overweight are more likely to succumb to extreme heat.

Key Topics:
- What is extreme heat?
- Make A Plan
- Staying safe during extreme heat

- Heat Cramps
- Heat Exhaustion
- Heatstroke
- Conclusion
Resources:
