Excessive Heat Continues into the Weekend

With these dangerously high temperatures, extra care must be taken to avoid heat-related injury. Beat the heat with these simple tips and check out the cooling center hours below:

• If you'll be outdoors (and especially those playing in this weekend's soccer tournament) take frequent breaks from the sun and HYDRATE!
• Check on neighbors and family members, especially the elderly.
• Limit your time in direct sunlight and avoid strenuous outdoor activity.
• Wear sunscreen and sunglasses.
• Drink plenty of water.
• Never leave your kids or pets in the car unattended.
