“With so many large events, sporting activities, and outdoor gatherings happening this summer, it’s important for both residents and visitors to stay aware of the risks associated with extreme heat. Young children, older adults, outdoor workers, athletes, and people with chronic medical conditions are especially vulnerable to heat-related illnesses. Taking simple precautions like drinking water regularly, resting in shaded or air-conditioned spaces, and wearing sunscreen can help prevent serious illness and save lives.” - Dr. Ericka Brown, HCPH’s Local Health Authority
