Why Choose to volunteer for Extreme Heat Awareness Day?

 

  • Heatwaves kill more people than any other natural hazard.
  • You’ll be helping to get the word out about the dangers of extreme heat, practical ways for people to be prepared and what to do in a heatwave.
  • Our research tells us that people don’t know the risks of heatwaves and don’t know what to do. You’ll be helping us to change that.
  • Be part of a team and feel valued for your time.
