    WHEN: Until 8 PM EDT this evening.

    IMPACTS: Heat related illnesses increase significantly during

    ADDITIONAL DETAILS: Very warm low temperatures in the mid 70s to

    will exacerbate the impacts from the heat and humidity.

    PRECAUTIONARY / PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS:

    Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of
    the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.

    Do not leave young children and pets in unattended vehicles. Car
    interiors will reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.

    Take extra precautions when outside. Wear lightweight and loose
    fitting clothing. Try to limit strenuous activities to early morning
    or evening. Take action when you see symptoms of heat exhaustion and
    heat stroke.

    To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and
    Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in
    shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat
    should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an
    emergency! Call 9 1 1.

    If you do not have air conditioning in your home or lack shelter,
    you can call 211 or visit your county or state health department
    website for assistance locating appropriate shelter from the heat.
