The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) is urging residents to take steps to protect themselves from risks related to hot weather. MDHHS routinely reviews emergency department (ED) data for heat-related illness. As daily temperatures rise above 80 degrees, ED visits for heat-related illness increase. This is often more likely early in the summer season as people are not yet used to high temperatures and are not taking the necessary precautions.
