The National Weather Service in Wilmington issued a Heat Advisory for the Miami Valley region, including Greene County, until 9 p.m. today. Greene County Public Health encouraged people to stay aware of how they’re feeling, especially those with prolonged exposure to heat and physical exertion.
Residents should pay attention to the following:
- Drink plenty of water and non-alcoholic beverages.
- Decrease physical activity and try to exercise early in the morning or in the early evening. Stay in the shade if possible.
- Use air-conditioning if available.
- Wear loose, lightweight and light-colored, cotton clothing.
- Eat light meals.
- Cool down with showers, baths and recreational swimming.
- Adjust blinds, shades and awnings to keep out the sun.
- Use your basement, if cool, during the hottest hours.
- Use a circulating fan. If a fan is not bringing cooler air into the area, it may not help and can even increase heat stress.
- Check on neighbors and those who may need assistance.
- People with chronic health problems, such as heart disease or lung problems, should minimize activities to avoid additional stress.
- Extra caution should be taken for the elderly, young children and infants to make sure they are protected from the heat.
- Do not leave children or pets unattended in closed vehicles.
- People on some medications should check with their doctor to see if the heat puts them at an increased risk.
