Take Action on Climate Change
Heat Can Cause Serious Illness
Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of hot weather in Vermont. Heat illnesses can be deadly. On very hot days, sometimes your body temperature control systems can't keep up and your body temperature can get dangerously high. This makes you at greater risk for serious heat illnesses, including heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Heat stroke is a life-threatening emergency.
Dial 9-1-1 or get immediate medical help if you are concerned about your health or someone else's health when it's hot outside.

Find Somewhere to Cool off This Summer
Use the map below to find somewhere to take a break in air conditioning or splash in cool water.
Please call the site before you go to confirm it is open

look for cyanobacteria blooms
before going in the water. If you need more help finding or getting to a cooling site, please call 2-1-1. Swimming holes are typically not displayed on this map, but they may provide a safe option when following these

How to Stay Safe When it's Hot Outside
Never leave children, people with disabilities or pets inside a parked vehicle when it's hot.
The sun can turn a vehicle into an oven within minutes, even if it doesn’t feel hot outside.
Heat illnesses are a real danger in Vermont, even in our northern climate. Everyone should take steps to stay safe in hot weather, but some people are at higher risk than others.
Who is most impacted by heat?
In general, the risk of heat illnesses is greater for people with:
More exposure to hot conditions
– especially outdoor workers and hobbyists, urban residents and people experiencing homelessness
More sensitivity to heat exposure
– anyone not accustomed to hot weather, older adults and young children, people who are overweight or have a chronic medical condition (for example, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease and
diabetes
), and people using recreational drugs, alcohol or some prescription medications
Limited resources
– especially people who live alone, have limited transportation options, have no air conditioning or can’t afford to run their air conditioner
People who feel unwell or faint in hot weather are also at risk of serious or deadly falls.
People with chronic conditions may not show typical signs of heat illness, but rather worsened symptoms of their condition. If you or someone you know has a potentially dangerous chronic condition and begins to feel sick during a hot day, pay very close attention. Get immediate medical help if you have concerns about someone's condition.
Follow these heat safety tips:
Stay cool
Stay in the shade, air-conditioning if you can, or cool places such as basements.
Wear lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing.
Take cool showers.
Use fans, but don't rely on them as the only way to stay cool.
Go to air-conditioned public buildings.
Sleep without sheets.
Avoid hot drinks and meals.
Stay hydrated
Drink more water than usual, especially if you're exercising or active outdoors.
Be proactive, don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink water.
Don't drink alcoholic or caffeinated beverages.
Stay informed
Follow local weather and news reports.
Sign up for weather alerts at
VT-Alert
Follow excessive heat alerts and forecasts from the
National Weather Service
Try out the National Weather Service
Experimental Graphical Hazardous Weather Outlook
Check Health Department social media (
and
) and Vermont Emergency Management social media (
and
).
Listen to your body
Take it easy when it's hot.
Reduce outdoor work and exercise, and limit it to the cooler parts of the day.
Ask for help if you feel sick.
Stop what you are doing if you feel faint or weak.
Be more cautious if you have a chronic health condition.
Don't be a stranger
Call your loved ones and neighbors to check on them, especially if they are older or have chronic health conditions.
Make sure they are drinking enough water and are staying cool.
Remind them to take heat seriously.
Cool your home
Draw light-colored shades to keep out the sun — dark-colored shades can be less effective.
Close windows during the day when it is hotter outside than inside.
Open windows at night when it's cooler outside than inside.
Use fans to blow in cooler outside air or vent out warmer inside air.
Limit use of the stove, oven and other heat-generating appliances.
Modify your home for hot weather
Seal air leaks and increase insulation to keep buildings cooler in summer (and warmer in winter).
Plant trees and shrubs around buildings to increase summer shade and cooling breezes.
Replace incandescent light bulbs with LED bulbs that stay much cooler and save energy.
Install a heat pump or an efficient air conditioner.
