A Heat Advisory means that afternoon heat index values are expected
to meet or exceed 105 degrees. Take extra precautions when outside by
staying hydrated, wearing lightweight and loose fitting clothing, and
limiting strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Never
leave young children or pets in an enclosed vehicle, even for a short
time, as temperatures can quickly rise to life-threatening levels.
Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. To
reduce risk during outdoor work, the occupational safety and health
administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded
or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat should be
moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency -
call 911.
