Beating the Heat: A Growing Challenge for Seniors and Outdoor Workers

Seniors face added challenges due to age-related changes, while outdoor workers endure long hours under the sun.

Adopting measures such as hydration, shaded breaks, and protective gear is vital. Community efforts and awareness are essential to safeguard these groups as the climate continues to warm.
