❗The first real heat of the season is here and it always catches people off guard❗

🌞🔥🌡
High temps can put anyone at risk for heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Especially children, older adults, outdoor workers, and pets. A little preparation goes a long way.

Hydrate often — Drink water before you feel thirsty. Avoid alcohol and sugary drinks.

Take breaks — If you’re working or exercising outside, rest in the shade or indoors every 20–30 minutes.

Dress smart — Wear lightweight, loose, light‑colored clothing.

Check on others — Make sure neighbors, family, and friends—especially seniors—are doing okay.

Never leave kids or pets in cars — Temperatures inside a vehicle can rise dangerously fast.

Know the warning signs — Dizziness, headache, nausea, confusion, or hot dry skin require immediate action.
