3.  PREPARING FOR THE SUMMER HEAT

From the LADWP:

Beat the heat this summer! Keeping your home comfortable and lawn green can get expensive, but it doesn’t have to be — we are here to help! Plan now by implementing easy water and energy conservation measures to use water more efficiently, stay cool, and save! Upgrade to a smart thermostat or replace your lawn with California-friendly landscaping, get a rebate, and keep saving money all summer long.

Extreme heat can bring about health risks, so be sure to practice these helpful tips, such as staying hydrated and ventilating your home, to stay safe and cool while also conserving energy. Wildfires resulting in prolonged outages and other safety risks can also arise from extreme heat, so be prepared! Take some time with your loved ones to plan for an emergency and make a kit.
