Extreme heat happens when the forecast average temperature on any day is higher than the predetermined heat health temperature threshold in a Victorian weather forecast district. A heatwave is when there are three or more consecutive days of extreme heat.
Individuals who are most at risk, often due to age, illness, medication, or social isolation, are affected by isolated days of extreme heat. During heatwaves, these impacts are worsened and affect a large part of the community. Heatwaves also have negative effects on the natural, built, and economic environments, such as the compromised operation of critical infrastructure, facilities and services.
The Northern Grampians Shire Council has created an Extreme Heat Plan(PDF, 1MB) to protect residents from the harmful effects of extreme heat. The plan focuses on members of the community who may be most vulnerable to heat.
To prevent heat-related illness, you can find more information on staying cool during a heatwave on the Department of Health and Better Health Channel websites.
