High temperatures continue today as well as the risk of heat illness, so make hydration your top priority and seek cool or shaded areas when outdoors. Give pets a shady spot and fresh water, and reach out to older adults and anyone who may need extra care. ☀️

Dangerously high temperatures are expected over the next few days. Stay hydrated and limit time outdoors. Remember to NEVER leave people or pets in a closed vehicle under any circumstances.
