PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

THE PROLONGED SPELL OF VERY HOT AND INCREASINGLY HUMID WEATHER HAS

REMAIN IN AN AIR CONDITIONED LOCATION IF POSSIBLE. IF YOU MUST BE 
OUTSIDE...DRINK PLENTY OF NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES. 

THE ELDERLY...THE VERY YOUNG AND THE INFIRM ARE MOST SUSCEPTIBLE TO

COACHES...TRAINERS...CAMP COUNSELORS AND LIFEGUARDS SHOULD REMAIN 
ALERT FOR SIGNS OF HEAT EXHAUSTION AND OR HEAT STROKE. PLEASE 
CONSIDER POSTPONING ANY STRENUOUS ACTIVITIES OR WORK OUTS IN THE 
EVENT THAT A HEAT WARNING IS ISSUED.

KEEP YOUR PETS IN A SHADED AND WELL VENTILATED LOCATION AND PROVIDE 
THEM WITH PLENTY OF COOL DRINKING WATER. THE MOST HUMANE THING TO DO 
IS TO BRING THEM INDOORS. 

NEVER LEAVE ANY PERSON OR ANIMAL IN A PARKED VEHICLE FOR ANY LENGTH 
OF TIME. DEATH CAN OCCUR IN MINUTES.
