Extreme Heat During the COVID-19 Pandemic
From the Document: "This year Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies are dealing with the dual risks of COVID-19 [coronavirus disease 2019] and extreme heat, amongst many other compound disasters. For many staff and volunteers, the heat risks may be amplified due to considerations for COVID-19 like wearing personal protective equipment (PPE). At the same time, vulnerable individuals may be reluctant to seek cool spaces during a heatwave, out of fear of infection. These guidance materials provide practical steps that National Societies can take to protect staff, volunteers, and vulnerable people from heat extremes."
