PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Heat Advisory means that a period of hot temperatures is
expected. The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity
will combine to create a situation in which heat illnesses are
possible. Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned
room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and
neighbors. Take extra precautions, if you work or spend time 
outside. When possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early 
morning or evening. 

The interior of a vehicle can heat up very quickly on hot days. Do
not leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle, even for a
short period of time. Don't forget to check the backseat!

To reduce risk during outdoor work, the occupational safety and 
health administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks 
in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat
should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an 
emergency, call 9 1 1.
