Beat the Heat Week Is a Wrap — But We’re Just Getting Started!

Thanks, Nashville, for joining us for Beat the Heat Week! We’ve learned about extreme heat, who is most vulnerable, and some simple ways we can all help keep our community safer.
Now we need your voice.

Take about 10 minutes to complete Nashville’s Heat Survey and tell us:
• What you know about heat
• How heat affects you
• How we can help you Beat the Heat

And there’s a little thank-you for participating! Nashville residents who complete the survey can enter to win local gift certificates, including:

🍫 Two $25 Chocolate Moose gift cards
🛒 One $25 Brown County IGA gift card
🥐 Three $5 Offbeat Bakery gift certificates

This survey is an important part of Nashville’s year-long Beat the Heat project with Indiana University. Your answers will help us understand what our community needs as we prepare for hotter days ahead.

Take the survey. Have your say. Help Nashville Beat the Heat!
