Not that we have to tell you, but it's hot and humid in Chicago this week! 🫠 Certain populations are more vulnerable to heat, including those who are socially isolated, don’t have air conditioning, are 65 years or older, have a chronic disease, or are pregnant.

How can you keep your loved ones safe? Check in on relatives and neighbors, including during the evening and nighttime hours. If needed take shelter at city cooling centers, libraries and park district facilities, or a friend or relative’s home that has air conditioning.

If you or someone near you experiences acute symptoms or loses consciousness, call 9-1-1 and seek a cool indoor location right away.
