June 29, 2021Wildfire Preparedness
Send us a text
In This Episode:
In this episode, we’ll talk about how you can prepare yourself and your family should you encounter a wildfire where you live or while traveling.
Each year an average of over 60,000 wildfires occur in the United States burning millions of acres of forest and wildlands. The two primary ignition sources are lightning strikes which make up 10% of wildfire causes and 90% are attributed to humans. A wildfire is classified as human-caused and can begin via “debris burning, campfires, arson, discarded smoking products, sparks from equipment in operation, arced power lines, and other means” according to the National Interagency Fire Center.
On average wildfires are responsible for the destruction of nearly 70 million acres of wildlands per year in the United States and cause an average of 339,000 deaths per year worldwide.

Key Topics:

Introduction
Make a plan
Prepare your home
When a wildfire is in your area
Evacuation
Returning home after a wildfire
Wildfire safety while traveling
Conclusion

June 22, 2021Surviving Extreme Heat
Send us a text
In This Episode:
Heat is the number one weather-related killer. Heat kills by pushing the human body beyond its limits. In extreme heat and high humidity, evaporation is slowed and the body must work extra hard to maintain a normal temperature.
Most heat disorders occur because the victim has been overexposed to heat or has over-exercised for his or her age and physical condition. Older adults, young children, and those who are sick or overweight are more likely to succumb to extreme heat. In this episode, we’ll explore some ways that you can protect yourself and your family from extreme heat, and how to recognize the signs of the most common heat-related illnesses.

Key Topics:

What is extreme heat?
Make A Plan
Staying safe during extreme heat
Recognize and respond to heat-related illness
Heat Cramps
Heat Exhaustion
Heatstroke
