☀️🔥 **THE HEAT ISN’T LETTING UP — AND THERE’S NO END IN SIGHT!** 🔥☀️

The temperatures are staying dangerously hot, and it’s important that everyone takes the heat seriously. **Don’t wait until you feel sick to take a break!**

💧 Drink plenty of water — even if you don’t feel thirsty.
🌡️ Limit strenuous outdoor activities during the hottest parts of the day.
🏠 Take frequent breaks in the shade or air conditioning.
👶👵 Check on children, older adults, and those who may be more vulnerable to the heat.

🐶 **Never leave children, pets, or anyone else inside a parked vehicle.**
🚗 Look before you lock — make sure no one is left behind.

⚠️ **Know the warning signs of heat illness:** heavy sweating, headache, dizziness, nausea, weakness, confusion, or fainting. If someone becomes confused, loses consciousness, or has signs of severe heat illness, **call 911 immediately** and move them to a cooler location.

The heat may be sticking around, but **you don’t have to let it put you at risk.**

**Stay cool. Stay hydrated. Look out for one another. Most importantly — stay safe Gibson County!**
