National Stay Cool Day

Heat Plan Check

A free, self-attested check for schools that finished a heat emergency plan for the 2026-27 school year.

Heat Plan Check: completed · not certified

What this badge means

Schools earn this badge after finishing a plan in the National Stay Cool Day EAP Builder and confirming the criteria below. The school name goes in the badge link’s alt text. The badge image itself stays the same for every school.

Wording matters: this is Heat Plan Check: completed. It is not a certification. National Stay Cool Day does not verify school plans, and nothing typed in the builder is sent to us.

Self-attested criteria

A school may post the badge when staff can honestly check each of these for the current school year:

  • Finished an emergency action plan (EAP) with a named cooling site and a tub or tarp for cold-water cooling.
  • The plan includes the 911 line: “Call 911 right away, while cooling starts.”
  • An acclimatization schedule has been adopted.
  • Staff reviewed the plan this school year.
These checks happen at the end of the EAP Builder on your device. National Stay Cool Day cannot see your answers.

Get the badge

  1. Open the EAP Builder and finish your plan.
  2. On the finish screen, confirm the four criteria and type your school name.
  3. Copy the embed code and paste it on your athletics or school site.
