Generic Heatwave Awareness Posters: English and Text-Free (Part 2)
Part 2 of the free printable heatwave awareness posters in English and text-free versions you can adapt to any language.
This resource contains the second part of the generic heat action poster set, which was produced for Heat Action Day 2022 by the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre and the Global Disaster Preparedness Center (GDPC). Together with Part 1, it makes up the complete set. Each poster comes in an English version and a text-free version. National Societies and partners can add their own language and local messages to the text-free version, which makes it useful for heat campaigns in countries without ready-made translations.
What’s included
The remaining posters in the generic set. They cover heat risk, vulnerable groups such as children and outdoor workers, heat illness warning signs, and simple actions to stay safe.
Format: one ZIP file of high-resolution JPG images in landscape format, sized for printing on A4 or A3. Languages: English and text-free. Free to use and adapt for non-commercial heat awareness purposes.
The first part of the set is in Generic Heatwave Awareness Posters: English and Text-Free (Part 1).
How to adapt and use these posters
Add your own text to the text-free posters in a design tool such as Canva or PowerPoint, using the English version as a guide. Include local details such as cooling center locations or emergency numbers. Print and display the posters before and during the hot season in places where people at risk will see them.
