Heat is the leading weather-related killer, and it is becoming more dangerous with hotter days becoming a new norm in states like Florida; home to over 2 million outdoor workers.
For farmworkers and other migrant outdoor workers, who die of heat-related causes at roughly 20 times the rate of workers in all other civilian occupations according to CDC data, the danger of extreme heat is compounded by lack of access to quality health care, and lack of access to critical information due to language and communication barriers.
It is our hope to give farmworkers greater access to heat safety and protection by providing partners and supporters FREE Heat Advisory audio recordings in 7 languages to ensure all workers are able to receive critical heat announcements and tips.
