California launched “Heat Ready CA,” a new campaign to help protect communities from extreme heat as heat waves get severe and frequent.
Excessive heat watches and warnings are in effect across the southern half of the state, with additional watches, warnings, and advisories possible farther north, including the San Joaquin Valley.
Heat Ready CA is a two-year, $20 million campaign focusing on groups at highest risk from heat including those 65 years of age or older, workers, individuals experiencing homeless, with chronic illness, disabilities, or who are pregnant, among others. It is part of Newsom's Extreme Heat Action Plan -- a state action plan to build community resilience -- guiding the state's response to heatwaves, protecting frontline workers and helping communities set up cooling centers.
Stay hydrated: People should drink at least two cups of water every hour even if they're not feeling thirsty, and should avoid alcoholic or caffeinated drinks.
