HEAT ADVISORY STEPS TO TAKE
-
Tuesday, August 01, 2006 7:53 AM
- Close your shades and keep the sun rays out
- Hydrate! hydrate! hydrate! Yourself and your pets too!
- When walking your pets, please keep in mind the ground (cement and asphalt driveways) can cause severe burns on their paws.
- Check on your neighbors (especially elderly) they are VERY vunerable to the heat and will need you.
- Do not! Under any circumstances leave any living thing in your car, even for a moment.
- Keep activity to a minimal pace
- Check how you're hydrating. If you're peeing and sweating, you're doing ok, if you stop either, start drinking room temperature drinks (gatorade is best), get to the shade and sit, or go inside where it's cooler. If this continues, go to the emergency room immediately.
- If you have no AC, now is the time to go visit the library, movie theater, mall.
- Any questions, Please PM me!
