Temperatures are in the 90s again. The keys to keeping safe in the heat include staying hydrated, wearing plenty of sunscreen, and wearing loose and light clothing. Other tips for staying cool in the extreme heat include:

• Limit outdoor activities and stay inside. If you do not have air conditioning, keep your shades drawn and blinds closed, but windows slightly open for air circulation. 

• Drink lots of water and avoid alcohol, caffeine, and sodas.

• Take cool baths and showers.

• Never leave anyone (including pets) in a parked car, even for a few minutes.

• Check on relatives and neighbors, especially the elderly or people with disabilities.
