COUNTY OF WAYNE: Heat Advisory is in Effect for Portions of Central NC
0Comments

County of Wayne issued the following announcement on June 10.

Be careful this week as temperatures get dangerously hot. Here’s some tips to stay safe:

Stay indoors as much as possible and limit exposure to the sun.

 Drink plenty of water; even if you do not feel thirsty. Stay away from drinks with caffeine. 

 Dress in loose-fitting, lightweight and light-colored clothes that cover a lot of skin. Try not to wear dark colors because they absorb the sun’s rays.

 Avoid hard work during the warmest part of the day. Use a buddy system when working in extreme heat, and take breaks often.

 Check on family, friends and neighbors who do not have air conditioning and who spend much of their time alone.

 Check on your animals often to make sure that they are not suffering from the heat.
