Coping With Extreme Heat Information
New resources from SA Health, on how to survive the extreme heat of summer!

South Australia experiences long periods of extreme heat so it is important for everyone to know how extreme heat can affect their health and what can be done to reduce these effects.

The Extreme Heat Guide has been created to help you prepare for extremely hot weather. It also explains the different heat-related illnesses, how they can affect you and what to do if you or someone you know is affected by heat.

SA Health has also created a number of fact sheets for people who may be at additional risk from heat-related illness Printed copies of the guide is available through the Division's website or available direct from SA Health by calling (08) 8226 6000 and asking for the Emergency Management Unit.
