HEAT SAFETY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY DURING A HEAT WAVE.
Extreme heat is a period of high heat and humidity with temperatures above 90 degrees (F) for at least two to three days. During extreme heat periods the body works extra hard to maintain a normal temperature. Older adults, children and people with certain illnesses and chronic conditions are at greater risk. Humidity also increases the feeling of heat. Be Safe.
- Wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing.
- Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated.
- Avoid high-energy activities or work outdoors, during midday heat, if possible. Reduce,
- eliminate or reschedule strenuous activities until the coolest time of the day.
- Use your oven less to help reduce the temperature in the home.
- If outside, find shade. Wear a hat wide enough to protect the face.
- Check on family members, older adults and neighbors.
- Never leave people or pets in a closed car on a warm day.
- Watch for heat cramps, heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
- Home Insulation
- Cover windows with drapes or shades.
- Weather-strip doors and windows.
- Use window reflectors specifically designed to reflect heat back outside.
- Add insulation to keep the heat out.
- Use a powered attic ventilator, or attic fan, to regulate the heat level of a building’s attic
- by clearing out hot air.
- Pet safety: If they are outside, make sure they have plenty of cool water and access to comfortable shade. Asphalt and dark pavement can be very hot to your pet’s feet.

Beyond the Seat at the Table
When Representation Becomes Complicity
By Faisal Kutty
Jul/Aug 25
Microsoft’s 50th anniversary celebration was meant to be a triumphant moment – a nostalgic nod to the past and a confident step into the future.

Utilizing Higher Education and Political Prowess to Inspire an Ideological Shift
