Beat the Heat: Summer Safety Tips
Extreme heat safety is crucial as summer temperatures soar to dangerous levels. To prevent heat exhaustion and heat stroke, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, seek shade or air-conditioned spaces, and avoid strenuous outdoor activities during peak sun hours (typically 10 AM to 4 PM).

Never leave children or pets in parked cars, as vehicle temperatures can rise rapidly. Let’s prioritize heat wave preparedness and look out for each other during these hot summer months to ensure community heat safety.
