Warm Weather Advisory

It's the first day of June. We have three weeks until the official start of Summer, but I always think of this day as the begining. We will be busy with outdoor activities and I wanted to remind people of basic precautions for having a safe and happy summer.
Remember to always buckle up when traveling, wear sunscreen,mosquito repellant, swim in safe areas, keep hydrated, avoid too much alcohol and keep a watchful eye on your children.

Beat the Heat

Working outside in midday when the heat and humidity are high can be dangerous. Drink plenty of fluids before going outdoors and while you work, and watch for these signs that you may be getting into trouble:
nausea or cramps
dizziness
dry skin - no sweating
redness
goose bumps on chest and arms
incoherent speech and thoughts
loss of gait or coordination
