Why you should come along

Extreme heat is the deadliest environmental disaster in Australia. It is one of the most urgent challenges communities all across the country are facing. As temperatures rise, and more people are at risk, it's important that we come together to learn about who is most at risk, and the solutions that we can take back to our local communities to keep each other safe and raise awareness.
