[BCMA] Be Prepared for Extreme Heat

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

*Be Prepared for Extreme Heat*

Climate change increases the likelihood and severity of extreme weather
events in British Columbia; such as record-breaking heat waves and the
devastating wildfires, atmospheric river and associated flooding, and cold
snap experienced in 2021.

Museums, galleries, and cultural spaces have important roles to play in
keeping their staff, volunteers, and communities safe during extreme
weather events. The BCMA has compiled a list of resources and calls to
action that you can use to understand the risk, prepare for these
conditions, and know where to access support.
