PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS…

A Heat Advisory means that a period of hot temperatures is

expected. The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity

will combine to create a situation in which heat illnesses are

possible. Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned

room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and

neighbors.

Take extra precautions, if you work or spend time outside.

When possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning

or evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and

heat stroke. Wear light weight and loose fitting clothing when

possible and drink plenty of water. 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 9

1 1.
