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

@SF_DPHMar 18
🔥 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. #HeatSafetySF #VulnerablePopulations #ExtremeHeat #SFDPH #HealthEquity #CommunityCare

It’s getting hot out there! Be safe and #BeatTheHeat. More info below.
