Heat kills more Americans every year than any other weather event. Here's what most people aren't doing about it: ☐ Hang reflective insulation on sun-facing windows now, before you need it ☐ Add a dehumidifier. Humidity is what makes heat dangerous indoors ☐ Know how to create one cool room using tarps to seal off a smaller space ☐ If you're in a dry climate, a swamp cooler beats AC for off-grid cooling You don't need a bunker. You need a plan. #SummerPrep #HeatSafety #Preparedness
