Heat Safety

Now Is the Time for Mesa Residents to Make a Heat Safety Plan
Extreme heat can impact anyone. Preparing ahead of time helps keep you, your family, and your neighbors safe.

If your air conditioning stops working, know where to go
- Public libraries
- Shopping centers or malls
- Cooling or respite centers

Look out for one another
- Identify neighbors who may be more vulnerable to extreme heat, including seniors, people with disabilities, and families without reliable cooling.
- Coordinate with neighbors to check in on each other during the summer months.

Know your city resources
- Learn where cooling centers, hydration stations, and heat-safety services are located.
- Share this information with friends, family, and neighbors who may need it.

Prepare your home before temperatures rise
- Schedule an HVAC inspection or basic maintenance.
- Stock up on drinking water and other heat-related essentials.
