A Heatwave Warning for several Victorian weather districts has been issued, with severe heatwave conditions developing and expected to peak tomorrow and Friday.
Severe heatwaves can be dangerous for many people, especially older people, babies, children, pregnant and breastfeeding women, people with medical conditions and people who are unwell.
Seek a place to keep cool, such as your home, a library, community or shopping centre. Close your windows and draw blinds, curtains or awnings early in the day to keep the heat out of your home. If available, use fans or air-conditioners to keep cool.

Vale Dr Alison Green - a life taken too soon
It is with great sadness that we advise the tragic death of Murray PHN Deputy Chair and Board Director Dr Alison Green on Friday 10 October. Alison will be greatly missed, particularly by her colleagues at Murray PHN, having been an integral part of our Board for eight years.
We acknowledge Alison’s significant and longstanding contributions to her patients, local community and the general practice profession. We will remember Alison as being a vibrant, down-to-earth and passionate member of our team. Our thoughts go out to her family, friends, colleagues and the patients whose lives she touched.
We also send our deep condolences to her friends and colleagues at the Central Medical Group in Wodonga, where Alison has been a pivotal and much-loved figure for more than 30 years.
