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 water, wear light weight loose fitting
clothing, 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.

Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke
is an emergency, call 9 1 1.
