Extreme-heat website offers advice on staying cool

New site targets those most likely to suffer adverse health effects during heat wave

The Canadian Press | Aug 10, 2012

Canadians now have a website aimed at better preparing them to deal with heat waves.

The site, available in both English and French, provides advice for the public and an accredited training program for health-care workers on how to help people manage in blistering hot weather.

Extremeheat.ca includes information on young children, seniors and physically active adults — the groups most likely to suffer adverse health effects during a heat wave.

The extreme heat online program is a collaborative effort of the division of e-learning innovation at McMaster University, Health Canada, the Ontario College of Family Physicians and the Clean Air Partnership.
