EXTREME HEATWAVE
EMERGENCY WARNING

Heatwave  Emergency Warning  Day 1  
This Heatwave Emergency Warning message is issued for the Murraylands forecast district
An Extreme Heatwave is very dangerous. When we experience unusually high night and daytime temperatures, over several days, there is no chance for your body to recover. This is dangerous for anyone who does not take precautions to keep cool-even those who are healthy. People who work or exercise outdoors are particularly at risk. The reliability of infrastructure, like power and transport, can also be affected. Take action now to make sure you and your family stay well during this heatwave event. 
What you should do:
  • If you’re shopping for food or travelling with it this festive season, take an esky with you to keep it cool and never leave it out in the heat for too long. Bacteria grows quicker on food when it’s hot, which increases the risk of food poisoning.
  • Going out camping? Avoid parking or setting up campsites under trees with large overhead branches as trees often drop limbs when it’s hot.
