Everyone needs to know about the effects of extreme heat. Find out who is most at risk, and learn how to prepare and cope during and after heatwaves. For more information see:
Telecross REDi
The Telecross REDi service (PDF 86KB) supports registered people by regularly calling them during heatwaves and other extreme weather events.
