🏠 Keep indoor spaces cooler by closing curtains during the day (open windows and doors for airflow if you don’t have air conditioning)
☀️ Slip, slop, slap, and wrap when heading outdoors
👥 Check in on whānau, neighbours, and friends (especially older people and young children)
🐾 Make sure pets have fresh water, shade, and a cool place to rest (avoid exercise during the hottest parts of the day)
