Stay Cool, Stay Safe: Beat the Heat Dome
During prolonged extreme heat, follow simple steps—hydrate, wear light clothing, check on vulnerable neighbors, and keep pets cool—to reduce heat-related risks.
Prolonged extreme heat can be dangerous for everyone. Follow basic precautions: drink plenty of water, wear lightweight light-colored clothing, stay in air-conditioned spaces or use fans and closed blinds during the day, check on elderly neighbors and those without AC, limit strenuous outdoor activity during peak heat (11:00 AM–4:00 PM), and keep pets indoors with plenty of fresh water.
