Disabled in Alberta: Suffering During the Heat/Smoke (thread).
In Edmonton the #AQHI climbed steadily to a 10+ today. 10+ is dangerous, it is literally off the scale. It is dangerous to everyone but especially so to disabled people.

I live in an apartment on the 3rd floor. The building has no A/C, no fans, and is smaller than 3 matchboxes. Okay, 6.
Air quality isn't great even on normal days.
By now someone is asking what's a matchbox. Ben Harper is asking why my dad doesn't move me to nicer place.

The temperature in the apartment can rise to 40 degrees, 50 on the balcony in direct sun. It faces west so summer time it gets the sun until 10PM. The only way to survive is open all the windows and sit in front of a fan bought by relatives.
