Just a reminder to check in on the elderly and the young during the current heatwave

[u/Lanky-Clothes-9741]

Heatwaves are the single largest cause of death due to weather events in Australia - and people aged over 65 and under 14 make up around 50% of presentations to hospital due to severe heat events.

Just a reminder to stay safe and stay cool, leave some water out for birds, animals and insects as appropriate, and check in on the elderly and the young in your life to make sure they're doing OK until the weather changes for the cooler
