Learning heat resilience during extreme temperatures

The dog days of summer are upon us. But it seems this year that summer heat has more of a bite. Extreme temperatures are changing everything from work, sleep, sports, and summer camps.

There are ways communities can deal with extreme heat, but it takes a systemic approach. In this hour of All Sides, learn about heat resilience and what it takes to build heat-resilient communities.

Plus, what does heat do to the body – how it affects the young, the old, and the in between. And what about those who work under the hot summer sun or in sweltering factories, are there legal workplace protections?

Guests:

• Ladd Keith, director of the Heat Resilience Initiative at the University of Arizona
• Dr. Stephen Auciello, program director at OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital Family Medicine Residency Program
• Richard Bales, professor of law at Ohio Northern University
