Take Precautions During this Week's Heat Wave

Through this weekend, temperatures are expected to climb over 90 degrees and the accompanying humidity will make it feel closer to 100 degrees.  All residents are asked to take precautions to avoid exposure to the extreme heat.

It is recommended that residents stay indoors if possible from 11 am to 3 pm when the sun is at its strongest and burns and heat strokes are more likely to occur.  All age groups are at risk for heat stroke so please take precautions if you have to be outdoors... including wearing sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and staying properly hydrated.

It is NOT okay to leave a child or pet in a locked vehicle even for a moment as temperatures can rise quite quickly.  It is alo imperative to lock all parked vehicles so children cannot accidentally lock themselves inside while playing games like hide and seek.
