More than 600 people in the U.S. die from extreme heat every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Due to Hurricane Laura, many residents and volunteers in Louisiana and Texas are busy cleaning up from the storm. It's important to remember to drink plenty of water, seek shade, and take breaks to prevent heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion and heatstroke.
