The BOM has issued a severe heatwave warning across eastern NSW until Thursday as temperatures are predicted to soar up to 12 degrees Celsius above average. Our friends at WSROC have been working with councils and local health districts to prepare people for heatwave events, including developing a range of ‘Heat Smart’ brochures in English and nine other languages to step households through heatwave planning. Download the digital brochures 👉 bit.ly/4g7KjBc #HeatSmart #HeatSafety Western Sydney Regional Organisation of Councils (WSROC)
GET ‘HEAT SMART’ ☀😎⛱ | Temperatures are predicted to hit the high-30s Celsius today in Western Sydney - perhaps even reaching 40 Celsius. It's time to get 'Heat Smart' for Western Sydney’s killer heat. Heat kills more Australians than floods, fires and storms combined. Western Sydney residents should start planning now and preparing for extreme heat and heat waves in the lead-up to summer. WSROC has been working with councils and local health districts to prepare people for heatwave events, including developing a range of ‘Heat Smart’ brochures in English and nine other languages to step households through heatwave planning. To download a brochure, Google ‘Heat Smart Western Sydney’ – or go to https://lnkd.in/gb-K76f5 ◼ Talk to your doctor: Ask your doctor about how heat may affect your risk. Heat can worsen existing health conditions, while some medicines can affect our ability to cope with heat. ◼ Check cooling works: This includes fridges, fans and air-conditioners. Don’t wait until the middle of a heatwave. Getting your air-conditioner serviced at the start of summer will ensure it is working efficiently when you need it most. ◼ Put up shading to protect windows and walls from heat: One of the most effective ways to prevent the home heating up is by shading walls from the hot sun. Now is the time to think about putting up external shade, and installing curtains. ◼ Plan your cool spots: Decide whether you will stay home or go to a cool place such as a library, shopping centre, or friend’s home during a heat event. If travelling, consider how you will get there and back safely. ◼ Plan for others: Think about how you will assist those who require care or support to stay safe. This could include children, family or pets. ◼ Talk to others: Know who you can call if help is needed. The start of summer is a great time to get to know your neighbours, and check their plans for the holiday period. ◼ Prepare a blackout kit: Power outages are common during heatwaves and can affect key services like public transport, water and phone services. Your kit could include a torch and batteries, a first aid kit and a mobile power pack. ◼ Prepare cool packs: It’s always handy to keep cool packs in the fridge or freezer for a hot day. ◼ Put up shading to protect windows and walls from heat: One of the most effective ways to prevent the home heating up is by shading walls from the hot sun. Now is the time to think about putting up external shade, and installing curtains.
