Be Prepared

Be Prepared for Summer Extreme Heat: 

• Know the signs of heat-related illness: Symptoms of heatstroke and heat exhaustion can include heavy sweating, muscle cramps, feeling weak, headache, nausea or vomiting, tiredness, or dizziness.
• Stay cool and hydrated: Find a cooling center, community center, public library, shopping mall, or other air-conditioned building that can provide relief.
• Look out for others: Check in on friends, coworkers and family and have them do the same for you. And don’t forget about pets.
• Charge your medical and assistive devices: Extreme weather can put a strain on our electrical grid or cause outages. If you or your loved ones use electric medical and assistive devices, inform your utility about your medical needs and enroll in a medical baseline program to receive additional notification and assistance. Also, make sure all batteries are charged and that you have back up plans. If you use a motorized wheelchair or scooter, keep an extra battery.
