Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are smart helpers in the digital world, which is the space created by phones, computers, and the internet. As smart helpers, they are able to learn information from your digital habits to give suggestions, answer questions, and make daily tasks easier. Examples of AI technology in your daily life are: using Alexa/Siri/Chat GPT; getting automatic suggestions for words when you are texting; and getting an AI generated “summary of results” when you look something up on Google.

Prepare Yourself for Extreme Heat

Heat events, also referred to as heatwaves, encompass consecutive days of temperatures exceeding the usual range for a specific region. With the ongoing climate changes, British Columbia can anticipate an increase in the frequency, duration, and intensity of heat events.

 

While heat events can impact the health of individuals, extreme heat poses a significantly higher risk of severe illness, particularly for those lacking access to a cool indoor setting. As outdoor temperatures escalate each day, the heat can accumulate indoors, creating a potentially perilous situation. The longer the duration of the heat event, the greater the danger it presents.
