Check in on each other!
With the Extreme Heat Warning currently in effect, I encourage everyone in our community to take a few moments to check in on your neighbors, especially older adults, those living alone, individuals with medical conditions, and anyone who may not have access to air conditioning.
A simple phone call, text message, or visit can make a meaningful difference during periods of dangerous heat. Make sure they are staying hydrated, keeping cool, and have what they need to remain safe.
Please remember to:
Drink plenty of water, even if you don't feel thirsty.
Limit outdoor activities during the hottest parts of the day.
Never leave children or pets unattended in vehicles, even for a short time.
Watch for signs of heat-related illness, such as dizziness, confusion, nausea, or excessive fatigue, and seek medical attention if needed.
Pierz has always been a community that looks out for one another. During this period of extreme heat, let's continue that tradition by checking on those who may need a helping hand.
Thank you for doing your part to help keep our community safe.
Chief Eric Hanneken
