A suggestion box for coping with extreme heat

Everyone feels they know the right steps to take to protect themselves from heat waves. However, studies show that government recommendations are only partially understood and followed. Similarly, the perceived risk to one’s own health is often downplayed or even ignored. That is why the heat adaptation program, which complements the heatwave prevention program, focuses its messages on the concepts of well-being and comfort that resonate with everyone. The mini-website vivre-avec-la-chaleur.fr offers articles and educational videos featuring practical advice. Initially, the content posted online is aimed at people who struggle in their homes when temperatures rise, as well as athletes.
