Practice Heat Safety wherever you are. Job Sites: stay hydrated and take breaks in the shade as often as possible. Indoors: Check up on the elderly, sick and those without AC. Vehicles: Never leave kids or pets unattended - LOOK before you LOCK. Outdoors: Limit strenuous outdoor activities, find shade, and stay hydrated. Heat-related deaths are preventable. Protect yourself and others from the impacts of heat waves.
Heat Impacts on Vulnerable Populations. Everyone is at risk from the dangers of extreme heat, but these groups are more vulnerable than most: pregnant, newborns, children, elderly, chronic illness. Age and certain conditions make the body less able to regulate temperature. Never leave anyone alone in a closed car. Use air conditioners and stay in the shade. Drink plenty of water, even if not thirsty. Wear loose-fitting, light-colored clothing.
Abnormally hot high temperatures for this time of year are expected through the weekend, with highs rising above 100 degrees each afternoon. Extreme heat is anticipated for Wednesday, when high temperatures will range from 105 to 115 degrees. Be sure to stay hydrated, limit strenuous outdoor activities in the afternoons, and keep a close watch for the signs and symptoms of heat-related illness.
