PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

An Excessive Heat Warning means that a period of very hot 
temperatures, even by local standards, will occur. Actions should be 
taken to lessen the impact of the extreme heat.

Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When 
possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or 
evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat 
stroke. Wear lightweight and loose-fitting clothing when possible 
and drink plenty of water.

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.

Public cooling shelters are available in some areas. Consult county 
officials for more details.
