HEAT SAFETY TIPS
Extreme heat is a period of high heat & humidity with temperatures
above 90 degrees for at least two to three days. In extreme heat your
body works extra hard to maintain a normal temperature, which can
lead to death. In fact, extreme heat is responsible for the highest
number of annual deaths among all weather-related hazards.
Remember:
Extreme heat can occur quickly and without warning.
Older adults, children and sick or overweight individuals are at
greater risk from extreme heat.
Humidity increases the feeling of heat as measured by a
heat index.
IF YOU ARE UNDER AN EXTREME HEAT WARNING:
Find air conditioning. Avoid strenuous activities.
Wear light clothing. Drink plenty of fluids.
Check on family members and neighbors.
Watch for heat cramps, heat exhaustion and
