The Lenawee County Health Department is reminding residents to stay safe in the summer heat as temperatures rise.
To prevent complications from the heat, residents are encouraged to:
- Drink more fluids and avoid liquids with large amounts of sugar and alcohol
- Limit outdoor activities to when it’s coolest in the morning and evening
- Spend time indoors in air conditioning
- Wear lightweight, light colored, and loose fitting clothing
- Wear sunscreen, as sunburn affects a body’s ability to cool down
- Check on elderly neighbors and relatives to determine if they need assistance.
If you need a place to cool off, one option is to visit one of the local libraries to escape the heat. Libraries in Lenawee include: the main branch of the Lenawee District Library in Adrian; along with branches in Addison, Britton, Clayton, Deerfield, and Onsted.
Other libraries in Lenawee are the Adrian District Library, Blissfield Public Library, Sand Creek: Read it and Reap Library, and the Tecumseh District Library.
