extreme heat
Climate change means hot days and heatwaves are more intense, and happen more often.
In WA we had our hottest summer on record in 2022, and they will likely be getting hotter in coming years. Extreme heat is the number one cause of death from natural disasters in Australia.
It is critical to make information about how to keep yourself and your community safe during extreme heat easy to find and simple to understand and use. This kind of information saves lives.
As such, we’ve done our best to summarise some of the most important and useful information from as many sources as we could find, and put them all in one place.

Please note CJU endeavours to produce resources that include Alt Text and we thank our disabled colleagues for demanding better and demanding accessibility. It shouldn't have been your work and we commit to including this in our work going forward.
We will update this page regularly, and if there are particular resources or pieces of information you need that are not already available here, please let us know by emailing admin@climatejusticeunion.org
We acknowledge that we begin our work as The Climate Justice Union on the Boodja (land) of the Wadjuk people of the Noongar Nation. We honour the Wadjuk people and their kin in other Nations and Country across these lands and waters, who have always cared for this place and all who lived here.
We acknowledge First Nations Elders past and present, and acknowledge that those of us living here, who came from across the seas, live on land that was taken, stolen. We acknowledge the responsibility that comes with this understanding and that we personally and collectively benefit from this theft.
As such, we all have a responsibility to decolonise ourselves, our lives and work, and to heal the harm these oppressive systems have inflicted.
