Safety Reminders

Given the Heat Advisory and heat indices nearing 106F, it is critical to stay cool and hydrated. Limit outdoor exertion during the hottest parts of the day and seek air-conditioned environments when possible.

Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing and use sunscreen if you must be outside. Remember that heat-related illnesses can develop quickly, so do not ignore signs of heat exhaustion.
