Extreme heat is the most dangerous weather event in the country, according to the National Weather Service. The elderly, young children and people who work outside are the most vulnerable. Reset hears what’s up with the heat this week and how groups representing people who work outside are responding. Trent Ford, Illinois state climatologist, Miguel Alvelo Rivera, executive director of Latino Union and Gaby Gracia, deputy director of the Great Lakes Center for Farmworker Health and Wellbeing at the UIC School of Public Health join us in conversation to talk about the heat and its effects on Chicagoans.
