King County creates 'playbook' to help prepare for future heat, weather events
Western Washington is in the midst of another heat wave. While temperatures won’t be as extreme as what we experience in June, wildfire smoke could make this heat wave worse for some groups.
King County Emergency Management Director Brendan McCluskey said it’s important for people to have a plan to deal with the hot temperatures and be mindful of neighbors and loved ones who might be susceptible to the conditions.
After June’s heat wave, King County Emergency Management started looking at the county’s previous preparation and response and used that information to try and formulate a playbook to help them prepare for future heat warnings.
"There are some things we learned that we started to implement, like creating a playbook for our activities leading up to heat waves and what we should be doing, including how we message people,” explained McCluskey.
