ALT Graphic for the Healthy Climate America podcast episode “Cooling Our Communities: A Policy Playbook for Extreme Heat.” The graphic features host Lisa Patel of the Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health and guest Grace Wickerson of the Federation of American Scientists, with a dark blue background, green accents, and audio wave imagery. Text reads: “Listen now: bit.ly/HealthyClimateAmerica.”

ALT A graphic showing ways to recognize and treat heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Symptoms of heat exhaustion include dizziness, thirst, heavy sweating, nausea, and weakness. If someone is experiencing heat exhaustion, move them to a cooler area, loosen clothing, sip cool water, and seek medical help if symptoms don't improve. Heat exhaustion can lead to heat stroke. Symptoms of heat stroke include confusion, dizziness, and becoming unconscious. If someone is experiencing heat stroke, call 911, move them to a cooler area, loosen their clothing and remove extra layers, and cool them with water or ice. Heat stroke can cause death or permanent disability if emergency treatment is not given. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and stay informed!"

ALT This infographic contrasts heat exhaustion and heat stroke. On the left, symptoms of heat exhaustion are listed: dizziness, thirst, heavy sweating, nausea, and weakness. Suggested actions include moving to a cooler area, loosening clothing, sipping cool water, and seeking medical help if symptoms persist. On the right, symptoms of heat stroke include confusion, dizziness, and unconsciousness. Immediate action is to call 911, move to a cooler area, loosen clothing, and cool with water or ice. The bottom mentions affiliates including CDC, NIOSH, and lists the message: "Stay Cool, Stay Hydrated, Stay Informed!"

ALT A child sitting in a car with text says, "Pediatric Vehicular Heatstroke by the Numbers. Over 900 children have died inside hot vehicles since 1998. The inside of a car heats up very quickly and death can occur within 10 minutes. Children's bodies heat up 3 to 5 times faster than healthy adults. An average of roughly 37 children die of PVH each year. Percent of PVH deaths at different outdoor temperatures: 48% at 90 to 100 degrees F, 32% at 80 to 90% degrees F, 8% at 70-80 degrees F, and 3% at 50-60 degrees F. 53% occurred due to the child being forgotten, often happening when the caregiver has a change in routine. 25% occurred due to the child gaining access to a parked car while unsupervised. Locations where PVH occurred: 58% occur at home, 24% occur at work, and 7% occur at childcare."

ALT At the top of the graphic is white text that reads Happy Earth Day! in large, bold letters. Under that is an image of a group of people holding a white banner that reads Our Climate. Our Health. Our Future. Under that is green text in Italics that reads Honoring Our Power, Our Planet. At the bottom of the graphic is the logo of the Medical Society Consortium on Climate and Health next to a green line. The background of the graphic is a dark blue.
