👉🏻EXERCISE 實戰演練
In the midst of summer, an unprecedented heat wave has descended upon our region, shattering records and raising concerns for public health and safety. Over the past week, temperatures have soared to historic highs, with daily highs consistently surpassing 100°F (37.8°C). This prolonged period of scorching heat has prompted health officials to issue heat advisories and warnings, urging residents to take precautions to avoid heat-related illnesses. Hospitals are reporting an increase in heat-related emergencies, with dehydration and heat exhaustion cases on the rise. The heat has also strained power grids as air conditioners work overtime, leading to power outages. Agriculture and water resources are under stress, with crops wilting and reservoirs dwindling.
