Safety Reminders

Given the active Heat Advisory and the forecasted heat indices exceeding 100F, it is critical to take precautions. Stay hydrated by drinking water frequently, even if you do not feel thirsty. Limit outdoor exertion, especially during the midday hours when the sun is strongest.

Seek air-conditioned environments as much as possible. Check on neighbors, particularly the elderly and those without air conditioning, to ensure their safety. If you must be outside, wear lightweight, light-colored clothing and apply sunscreen to protect your skin from intense UV exposure.
