DOC Summer 2026 Heat Action Plan

COMMUNICATIONS PLAN

As the hot weather approaches, the Department will continue to monitor conditions and identify solutions. These important guidelines will be reiterated to staff through our internal communications channels. The Department will continue to communicate to people in custody about preventative steps they can take to keep cool and avoid heat-related illness through posters, flyers, messaging personal tablets, automated voice messaging via housing area telephones and tablets, the health triage line, and in partnership with Correctional Health Services (CHS).
