Recommended actions
An Excessive Heat Warning means that a prolonged period of
dangerously hot temperatures will occur. These hot temperatures
will create an UNSAFE SITUATION, in which heat illnesses are
likely. Drink plenty of fluids, remain in an air-conditioned
room, and stay out of the sun.
Young children and pets should never be left unattended in
vehicles under any circumstances. This is especially true during
hot weather when car interiors can reach lethal temperatures in a
matter of minutes.
Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded
location. Heat stroke is an emergency, call 9 1 1.
