The Source: Summertime Heat Safety | 'The Takeaway' Comes To KSTX

Centers For Disease Control

In the first segment:

Every year 658 people die across the country from overheating and as the summer heats up we are all at risk of feeling the effects. Texas, California and Arizona make up 40 percent of all heat-related deaths. What can we do about it?  Who is at risk?  

Caitlin Cervenka from Catholic Charities and Project Cool joins us to answer questions about their prevention program along with Dr. Gillian Schmitz, associate director of the Department of Emergency Medicine at the UT Health Science Center.
