Preview: Meteorologists agree that heat waves will become increasingly frequent, early, intense and long-lasting. Planning and preparation are therefore needed to deal with future heatwaves.

Its purpose is to enable owners to take preventive and management measures to ensure the welfare of animals in their charge, particularly in the event of a heat wave.
