Those living on the streets are especially susceptible to hyperthermia, heat stroke, heat exhaustion, and dehydration. "I think for a lot of them, they know it's coming, if they've been living on the streets for a while, but to have it hit so early this year and have June just be so brutal, I think there's kind of a dread in it as you look forward to a whole summer of this," said Juliana Williams, with Our Calling.
