Heat Advisory Today: Temperatures Expected to Exceed 100 degrees
Many seniors, children and pets should be checked on to make sure they are protected from today's extreme heat.
This heat advisory was issued by the Los Angeles Police Department's West Valley Division.
Weather forecasts predict temperatures will surpass 100 degrees in the San Fernando Valley this week, so be prepared to beat the heat!
The effects of heat can quickly overcome anyone. However, seniors, young children, people with health conditions or illness are especially vulnerable.
Many seniors do not have Internet access at home, so please pass this information along to your elderly friends, family members or neighbors.
Beat The Heat!
• Take a cool shower or bath.
• Spend the day in an indoor air-conditioned mall. You can walk around, window shop, have something to eat or drink and use the benches and tables.
• Visit friends or relatives who have air conditioning.
• Drink a lot of water! It is extremely important to stay hydrated to avoid negative effects of heat.
• Stay indoors and avoid strenuous activity during the hottest time of the day.
• If you go outdoors, wear a sun hat, and cool, well-ventilated clothing that will protect you from the sun.
• NEVER leave a pet or a child unattended in your car!
