Higher temperatures can be tough, especially for older adults!
If you're a caregiver, create a plan to keep your loved one safe during extreme heat.
Get started with #SummerReady plans at ready.gov/summer-ready.
ALT Beat the heat: protect others. Keep an eye on people most likely to have heat-related illnesses. Older adults, babies and young children, people who live alone, people with a disability, disease, or mental illness.
