This summer we've already seen how hard it is for those experiencing homelessness when it's not safe to be outside. The poor air quality in Baltimore brought on by Canadian wildfires highlighted how few options many people are left with when public health messaging tells us to "stay indoors," either due to environmental factors or extreme heat.
In the summer months, people experiencing homelessness are especially at risk of dehydration, heat exhaustion, and worsening of existing health problems. While systemic change and permament housing is the only real longterm answer, there are some things you can do to stay safe and help your neighbors do the same.
Do you know what to do when officials issue a Code Red for extreme heat?
Beyond meeting immediate safety needs in extreme heat, you can read up on the ways environmental racism and inequality contribute to urban heat crises. Check out our Community of Practice on Homelessness conversation about race and the built environment.
