Heat Safety Tips
The National Weather Service has advised that heat index numbers will be very high the next few days.
Follow the tips below to help prevent heat related illness and stress.
NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN OR PETS IN A PARKED CAR The temperature can raise to 135 degrees in less than ten minutes, which can cause death to children or pets. If you see a child or pet left unattended in a parked car, you should call 9-1-1 and alert authorities.
SLOW DOWN Strenuous activities should be reduced, eliminated, or rescheduled to the coolest time of the day. Individuals at risk should stay in the coolest available place, not necessarily indoors.
DRESS FOR SUMMER Lightweight, light-colored clothing reflects heat and sunlight, and helps your body maintain normal temperatures.
DRINK PLENTY OF WATER Your body needs water to keep cool. Drink plenty of fluids even if you don't feel thirsty.
DON'T DRINK ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES
DON'T TAKE SALT TABLETS UNLESS SPECIFIED BY A PHYSICIAN Persons on salt restrictive diets should consult a physician before increasing their salt intake.
Spend more time in air-conditioned places. Air conditioning in homes and other buildings markedly reduces danger from the heat. If you cannot afford an air conditioner, spending some time each day (during hot weather) in an air conditioned environment affords some protection.
.Don't get too much sun. Sunburn makes the job of heat dissipation that much more difficult.
