With some warm temperatures this week, and more on the horizon this Spring and Summer, the National Weather Service and CDC Heat Risk Experimental Tool has tips for you to keep cool.
When it is very hot, there is an increased risk of heat-related illness. The body’s temperature rises and cannot be cooled by sweating or the other ways the body cools itself. The most severe heat-related illnesses are heat exhaustion and heat stroke. If not treated, heat exhaustion can worsen and cause heat stroke or death.
For those of you working outdoors… drink plenty of water, wear and reapply sunscreen as indicated on the package.
