Estepona Red Cross will carry out a special operation in response to the heatwave

In response to the high temperatures forecasted for this weekend, the Estepona Red Cross has announced that it will activate a special unit this coming Sunday, June 8, aimed at preventing the effects of the heat wave on the most vulnerable populations.

The initiative will take place on the Estepona Seafront Promenade, where the NGO will set up a care tent from the morning. Here, Red Cross volunteers will offer free blood pressure checks, particularly for elderly people; distribution of water to promote hydration; practical advice for dealing with a heat wave; and informational materials on how to prevent heatstroke and other risks associated with high temperatures.

This initiative is part of the commitment of the Spanish Red Cross to care for the elderly, chronically ill, pregnant women, homeless people, and families with young children, groups that are especially vulnerable during the summers due to the high temperatures caused by heat waves.
