Tanzania Red Cross Society retweeted
Extreme heat is a growing public health risk across East Africa, with children, older persons, and outdoor workers among the most affected. Rising temperatures are increasing the risk of dehydration, heat exhaustion, and other life-threatening conditions. To respond, Tanzania Red Cross @trcs1962 volunteers are reaching communities in Unguja and Tanga with practical, life-saving information on hydration, rest, and recognizing early signs of heat-related illness. Through community outreach and awareness sessions, people are learning simple actions that can protect their health and save lives. In Zanzibar, these efforts are reinforced by mangrove planting initiatives, helping to protect coastal ecosystems while strengthening long-term community resilience to climate change and rising temperatures. Simple actions today can reduce risks tomorrow. #HeatActionDay #ClimateAction #Adaptation
