🌡️ 🌞 Heat does not affect everyone equally. The majority of heat deaths in Multnomah County are among men over the age of 50 who live alone in their own apartment or home without air conditioning.

This might be your neighbor, father, client, buddy, tenant, grandfather, or patient.

Prevent heat death. Check in, take water, suggest ideas to stay cool, and get them out of the heat. More info: multco.us/programs/help-when-its-hot
