As the temperatures start to climb here in Washington County over the next few months, please be sure to take precautions to protect yourself and your loved ones from heat-related illnesses

Know the warning signs:
- High body temperature
- Hot, red, dry, or damp skin
- Rapid pulse
- Headache, dizziness, or confusion

Prevention Tips:
✔️ Drink plenty of water throughout the day
✔️ Wear light, loose-fitting clothing
✔️ Limit strenuous outdoor activity during peak heat hours (10 AM – 4 PM)
✔️ Take frequent breaks in the shade or air conditioning
✔️ Never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle

If you suspect heat stroke:
- Call 911 immediately
- Move the person to a cooler place
- Use cool water, ice packs, or fans to help lower body temperature

Let’s work together to keep our community safe this summer. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and check on neighbors, older adults, and anyone working outdoors. ❤️

🚨WEATHER SAFETY REMINDER🚨

Heavy rain can quickly create hazardous conditions across our community.

Please remember:
- Slow down on wet roads
- Use headlights
- Avoid distractions
- Never drive through floodwaters
- Move over for emergency vehicles

Most importantly:
🚫 NEVER drive through flooded roadways.

Flash flooding can happen quickly.
Just 6 inches of moving water can knock an adult down, and 12 inches can carry away a vehicle.

If you see water over the roadway:
TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN.

Your safe decisions help protect not only your family, but also first responders working in dangerous conditions
