The heat index for this week will be in the 90's during the day and the mid to high 60's at night.  Below are some tips to keep yourself and your family safe:

Tips on Staying Cool
• Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol and caffeine
• Reduce outside activities and stay inside in air-conditioned locations
• Never leave children or pets alone in closed vehicles, even for short periods of time
• Check on older, sick, or frail neighbors who may need help responding to the heat

Watch for signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke, which include:
• Confusion
• Hot, dry, flushed skin or cool and clammy skin
• Lightheadedness
• Nausea

Call 911 immediately if any of these symptoms occur.
