Many private schools run summer schools and camps. Your summer team can look at several websites that show the risk levels, including:

Best practices to prevent heat-related illness:

  1. Minimize the time in unshaded and paved areas from mid-day through late afternoon as temperatures rise.
  2. Check for signs of heat exhaustion, and provide cool water and shaded areas.
  3. Plan additional regular breaks and rest periods to prevent overexertion in hot weather conditions.
  4. If you have bus drivers and other outside staff, you need to offer PPE when the smoke particulate numbers are high.
  5. Advise sensitive groups to stay home when risk prediction is high.

This year, L&I adopted Wildfire Smoke Rules and created sample training plans and templates that you can customize to meet these requirements. https://Lni.wa.gov/WildfireSmoke

The NWS HeatRisk provides a forecast risk of heat-related impacts to occur over a 24-hour period. Users can input their town or address to determine their threat level, ranging between one (little to no risk) and four (extreme risk).
