Safety Reminders

With heat indices exceeding 100F, the risk of heat-related illness is high. It is crucial to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, even if you do not feel thirsty. Limit outdoor exertion, especially during the midday hours when the sun is strongest.

If you must be outside, seek shade or air-conditioned spaces frequently. Check on elderly neighbors and those without reliable cooling to ensure their safety. Do not leave people or pets in parked vehicles, as temperatures inside can rise rapidly to life-threatening levels.

Stay vigilant for signs of heat exhaustion, such as heavy sweating, weakness, and dizziness.
