Beat the heat, DC! If you feel dizzy, sick to your stomach, or are sweating a lot, find a cooler place & sip some water. If you don’t start to feel better, get medical help.

Extreme heat has meant extraordinary work for DC Gov teams. To the teams who've been out during the heat wave—to check on vulnerable neighbors, to respond to emergencies, and to keep our city safe, clean, and moving forward—thank you.
