## Resource

Europe is in the grip of a deadly heat wave, forcing governments to take emergency measures as temperatures soar and risks spike. France has mobilized the military and banned public drinking to combat wildfires and prevent drownings, while canceling outdoor events and closing schools. Paris is spraying mist at tourist hotspots, Rome’s fountains are becoming cooling havens, and Spain’s Basque Country has scrapped events to protect citizens. With over 200,000 heat-related deaths in Europe over the past four years — most preventable — officials warn this summer’s heat could be even worse. In France, four children drowned over the weekend, and authorities are urging caution for Sunday’s nationwide Music Day, where alcohol limits are being enforced. Rail services are shutting down as heat threatens infrastructure, and emergency crews are on high alert — this isn’t just a summer blip, it’s a life-or-death crisis unfolding across the continent.
