After the Heat, Prepare for Heavy Rain 🌧️

As Metro Detroit moves from extreme heat into heavy rain and thunderstorms, flooding can quickly create new health and safety risks.

Through our Resilient Eastside Initiative, ECN created the Seek Safe Shelter: Flood Health Guide to help residents understand how flooding can affect their health and what steps they can take to stay safe before, during, and after severe weather.

Stay alert, avoid flooded roads, and check in on family and neighbors as conditions change. 💚

Hotter Days Are Ahead — Protect Your Health ☀️

Temperatures are expected to climb even higher over the next two days, making it especially important to stay cool, hydrated, and aware of how extreme heat can affect your health.

Through our Seek Safe Shelter campaign, Eastside Community Network is helping residents understand how severe heat can impact the body—especially for people living with heart disease, asthma, COPD, kidney disease, diabetes, and other chronic health concerns.

If you’re unable to stay cool at home, Eastside Community Network is open as a Cooling Center 💧

For questions about where to get relief from the heat, call us at 313-571-2800 💚
