Health and Safety During a Heat Event
A heat event occurs when the forecast calls for one or more days with a 40 or higher humidex reading. The City of Hamilton Public Health Department monitors weather forecasts closely and notifies the media and community partners of a heat event. Once HWDSB has been notified of a heat event, information will be posted on our website and the following precautionary steps will be taken for students:
* Limit physical outdoor activities
* Ensure access to water
* Close drapes and blinds
* Move pupils through cooler areas of the school
* Monitor students for symptoms of heat stress
For more information, or steps you can take to reduce risks during heat events, please visit the following websites:
