July 6, 2021 - With the highest temperatures of the season typically coming in July and August, public health officials urge residents to protect themselves and their loved ones from the sometimes severe consequences of extreme heat.
While everyone is susceptible to heat-related illnesses, the elderly and individuals with chronic diseases are at greater risk.
On excessively hot days, avoid strenuous activity and stay inside whenever possible. And be sure to check on relatives, neighbors and friends. Keep an eye on pets as well.
