Precautionary/preparedness actions...

This excessive heat warning means that a prolonged period of
dangerously hot temperatures and high humidity levels will occur.
The conditions will enhance the potential for the development of
heat-related health issues among susceptible individuals. Be sure
to drink plenty of fluids...stay in an air- conditioned
environment if possible...stay out of the sun and check on elderly
relatives and neighbors.

Children and pets should never be left unattended in a vehicle
under any circumstance. During hot weather a car interior can
reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.

Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When
possible...reschedule strenuous activities to the early morning or
late evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and
heat stroke. Wear light weight and loose fitting clothing and
drink plenty of water.

To reduce risk during outdoor work...the occupational safety and
health administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks
in a shaded or air conditioned environment. Anyone overcome by
heat should be moved to a cool shaded location. Heat stroke is an
emergency...call 9 1 1.
