☀️ Extreme Heat Safety Reminder ☀️
With temperatures soaring across South Georgia, it's important to take extra precautions to protect yourself and your loved ones from heat-related illnesses.
💧 Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day—even if you don't feel thirsty.
🌳 Limit outdoor activities during the hottest hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.) and take frequent breaks in the shade or air conditioning.
👕 Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing and a wide-brimmed hat when outdoors.
🧴 Apply sunscreen to help protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
🚗 Never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle—temperatures can become deadly in just minutes.
👴👶 Check on older adults, young children, and neighbors who may be more vulnerable to extreme heat.
⚠️ Know the warning signs of heat illness:
• Heavy sweating
• Dizziness or fainting
• Nausea or vomiting
• Muscle cramps
• Confusion or loss of consciousness
If someone is experiencing signs of heat stroke—such as confusion, a body temperature above 103°F, hot, red skin, or loss of consciousness—call 911 immediately.
Your health and safety are our priority. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and stay safe this summer. ❤️
