If your national weather service (Met Office in the UK), advised of severe temperatures that could kill the elderly and vulnerable, would you dismiss it as scaremongering or take precautions?

I wouldn't take that as scaremongering, I see no reason to interpret it that way, but I wouldn't necessarily take any precautions either. I'm not elderly or extra vulnerable, and I don't spend much time out of the air-conditioned house anyway. My parents are elderly, I guess, so I might warn them not to go out if I think they didn't happen to hear the announcement.
