Did you know that Heatwaves actually kill more people than any other natural disaster?

It is predicted that Melbourne will continue to get hotter and experience more heatwave conditions. Some population groups such as the elderly, babies and people with chronic are particularly vulnerable to extreme heat.

You can help people during hot weather by encouraging them to utilise your waiting area (or other relevant area of your business) as a place to cool down and by offering them a glass of water.

More information on beating the Heat this summer is available on Council’s website at www.banyule.vic.gov.au.
