As temperatures continue to rise across Southern Nevada, officials are urging residents to take precautions ahead of potentially prolonged heat. The Southern Nevada Health District is particularly concerned about individuals with older adults, young children, and people with underlying health conditions. Officials are reminding people that heat-related illness is preventable with simple steps such as staying hydrated, avoiding peak heat hours and spending time in air-conditioned spaces. To help residents stay safe, Clark County has activated cooling stations across the valley, and non-governmental organizations are preparing for increased demand. David Marlon, CEO and founder of Vegas Stronger, says extreme weather can provide an opportunity to connect people with help.
