Heat Wave Survival Checklist for Homes and Vehicles:

- Prevent outdoor fire risk: Clean gutters, remove dry brush near the home and avoid grilling near dry vegetation.
- Avoid electrical overload: Don't run multiple high-powered appliances at once, especially during peak afternoon hours.
- Protect your vehicle: Use sunshades, check coolant levels, inspect your battery and monitor tire pressure frequently.
- Vent your car: Crack the windows slightly when parked to reduce interior heat buildup and pressure.
- Stock emergency supplies: Keep bottled water, portable fans, first aid kits, and phone chargers on hand at home and in your car.
