☀️ Broward, it’s HOT out there — and we mean REALLY hot.

With heat index temperatures climbing into the triple digits, staying cool isn’t just about comfort. It’s about staying safe.

If you’re indoors:
💧 Drink plenty of water, don’t wait until you’re thirsty.
❄️ Spend as much time as possible in air conditioning.
🚿 Take a cool shower or bath to lower your body temperature.
🍳 Avoid using the oven or stove when possible, they add heat to your home.
🪟 Keep blinds or curtains closed during the hottest part of the day.

If you’re heading outside:
🧢 Wear lightweight, loose-fitting, light-colored clothing.
🌳 Take frequent breaks in the shade or air conditioning.
🕐 Limit strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day.
💦 Bring water with you and drink frequently.
🚗 Never leave children, older adults or pets in a parked vehicle — even for a few minutes.

And please check on your people; especially older adults, neighbors who live alone and anyone who may not have reliable air conditioning.

Stay cool. Stay hydrated. Stay connected, Broward. 💙
