Heat Wave to last through the weekend
Some simple reminders to stay safe in the heat!
Wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing.
Use your oven less to help reduce the temperature in your home.
If you’re outside, find shade. Wear a hat wide enough to protect your face.
Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated.
Avoid high-energy activities or work outdoors, during midday heat, if possible.
Check on family members, older adults and neighbors.
Watch for heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
Consider pet safety. If they are outside, make sure they have plenty of cool water and access to comfortable shade. Asphalt and dark pavement can be very hot to your pet’s feet.
Never leave people or pets in a closed car.
If air conditioning is not available in your home go to a cooling center.
Borough Hall will remain available as a cooling center.
Take cool showers or baths.
