DETROIT – The Detroit Health Department and Parks and Recreation are partnering to provide residents with cooling centers to stay safe in extreme heat.
In a period of extreme heat the Detroit Health Department recommends that residents drink plenty of water, limit strenuous activity, take frequent breaks in air-conditioned spaces, and watch for signs of heat-related illness, including dizziness, nausea, headache, confusion, fainting, rapid heartbeat, or unusually heavy sweating.
