This summer has pushed the mercury up to never-before-seen heat in locations across the Northern Hemisphere. This weekend’s record-breaking heat in Europe [2] threatens the health of thousands of people like agricultural workers who cannot avoid the heat. In the Arctic, the immense heat is melting ice fast [3], and is set to melt at an even faster rate as the “heat dome” settles over the north. This is a great time to review our newly archived webinar for Community Health Workers, available in English (“It’s Hot and It’s Dangerous! [4]”) and Spanish (“¡Hace mucho calor y es peligroso! [5]”). Here are five additional reads from MCN staff that might interest you as you move into your weekend. Stay safe and cool!
