How we monitor extreme heat

When there are periods of extreme heat, it's important to take steps to protect your health and well-being. These events can increase the risk of heat-related illness, especially if you're indoors without proper cooling or working outdoors.

Royal Roads will monitor weather conditions and public health information during the summer months. If there's an advisory or warning about extreme heat, we’ll share any updates with required actions by email or through Alertus notifications.

Everyone reacts to heat differently, so it’s important to pay attention to how you’re feeling and check in with those around you.
