What does a red heat weather warning mean for you

Extreme heat is occurring or expected.
The heat poses a serious risk to health, including heat exhaustion and heatstroke.
There may be an increased risk of illness or death, especially for older adults, young children, people with chronic medical conditions, and those working outdoors.
Daily activities may need to be modified, and some outdoor events or work may be restricted.
