HEATWAVE ALERT

A period of extreme heat is expected to impact our area this weekend, with temperatures and humidity creating dangerous conditions for everyone, especially young children, older adults, individuals with medical conditions, outdoor workers, and pets.

As temperatures climb, please take a few simple precautions to stay safe:
 Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
 Stay in air conditioned spaces whenever possible.
 Limit outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day.
 Never leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle, even for a minute.
 Make sure your pets have access to shade and fresh water, and remember that hot pavement can burn their paws.
 Check in on elderly family members, neighbors, and anyone who may need assistance during the heat.

A little preparation can go a long way in preventing heat related illnesses. Please take care of yourselves, look out for one another, and have a safe weekend!
