Things to be aware about during the Extreme Heat

Because of COVID-19, most of us have been cooped up inside air-conditioned homes, but if you've ventured outside, you've surely noticed summer heat has arrived. 🔥

Today, the heat index is expected to reach 102 to 107 across east Central Florida, according to the US National Weather Service Melbourne Florida, so it's important to recognize and respond to heat-related illnesses. For more information, visit ready.gov/heat.

Here are a few more tips about how to deal with extreme heat:

➡️ Find air conditioning.
➡️ Avoid strenuous activities.
➡️ Wear light clothing.
➡️ Check on family members and neighbors.
➡️ Drink plenty of fluids.
➡️ Watch for heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
➡️ Never leave people or pets in a closed car.
