With hot, humid conditions in store this week, it's a good time to remember that extreme heat kills more people in the U.S. each year than all other weather events combined. Your plan to stay cool must include spending time in air-conditioned places. MORE: redcross.org/heat

Severe storms are possible multiple days this week. Plan to shelter in the basement or a small, interior, windowless room on the lowest level of a sturdy building in case a thunderstorm hits. Practice getting everyone to that safe place. More tips at redcross.org/thunderstorm.

Since the early 1900s, Ford Philanthropy, the global philanthropic arm of Ford Motor Company, has partnered with the American Red Cross to support communities when they need it most. What began with providing Model T ambulances during World War I and supporting the Red Cross Motor Corps in World War II has grown into a long-standing partnership focused on showing up for communities as they respond to and recover from crises. Today, Ford Philanthropy continues this legacy of collaboration. On Red Cross Giving Day, Ford Philanthropy will match donations up to $250,000. Your gift can go twice as far in providing shelter, food, and emergency assistance to people affected by disasters. Double your impact. Donate today: rdcrss.org/4dE7Sna

A housefire puts a family out of their home. A tornado forces someone and their pets to evacuate. A chronic blood disease prevents someone from living their life to the fullest. Emergencies happen every day. We are always here.

For anyone going to the parade in Oklahoma City, remember: Thunder up, have a cup! Drink 8 ounces of water every hour, even if you aren't thirsty. ⏲️ It will get warm tomorrow at the big basketball party, so it's important to stay hydrated.
