A man in Texas succumbed to the heat and passed away during his work shift. Rest in peace.

A woman in Louisiana was left without power for an extended time during extremely hot weather, and was also found deceased. Rest in peace.

I wonder what the post office is doing to ensure the future health & safety of its workers, because the heat waves sure as hell aren’t going to subside anytime soon, and summer just started yesterday.

    People over estimate their ability to survive heat, and under estimate how long it takes the body to cool down.

    Heat is deadly, and can go from “It’s so hot!” to heat stroke and brain damage very quickly.
