Remember to check pets and livestock water availability throughout the day. It is also important for them to have adequate shade ALL day. If possible, add a fan to move air or bring pets inside. Reminder that walks and exercise should be performed during early mornings or late evenings and check surfaces to make sure they aren’t too hot.

HEAT ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM CDT FRIDAY

Heat index values up to 109 expected. Hot temperatures and high humidity may cause heat illnesses.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances. 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 stoke.

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.
