Hey Fort Bend! 😎🔆 Today is National Heat Awareness Day- a day that serves as a reminder to prepare for rising summer temperatures and to protect those who are vulnerable in our community.

Remember:
• Stay Hydrated - drink plenty of water throughout the day, and make sure those pet bowls are full
• Plan Your Day - schedule outdoor activities during cooler parts of the day
• Dress For the Heat - wear lightweight, light-colored, and loose fitting clothes
• Seek Cool Environments - spend time in air-conditioned buildings during the hottest hours, visit public spaces like our amazing public libraries or cooling centers if your home lacks air conditioning
• Check on Vulnerable Groups - keep a close eye on children, the elderly, pets, and those with chronic health conditions who are more susceptible to heat stress

Stay cool Fort Bend County and be sure to follow Fort Bend County Homeland Security & Emergency Management for information about beating the heat, potential cooling centers, and more!
