IMPACTS…PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO THESE TEMPERATURES, ESPECIALLY AFTER AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF UNSEASONABLY COOL TEMPERATURES, WILL INCREASE THE RISK OF HEAT RELATED ILLNESSES, PARTICULARLY FOR VULNERABLE POPULATIONS. PETS, CROPS, AND LIVESTOCK MAY ALSO REQUIRE EXTRA CARE THROUGH THE WARM AND DRY WEATHER. INDIVIDUALS FLOCKING TO THE COAST FOR HEAT RELIEF AND UNFAMILIAR WITH THE OCEAN MAY BE AT INCREASED RISK OF HYPOTHERMIA OR BEING PULLED OUT TO SEA BY RIP CURRENTS. HOT, DRY WEATHER WILL INCREASE RISK OF HUMAN SOURCED WILDFIRE. A HEAT ADVISORY MEANS THAT A PERIOD OF HOT TEMPERATURES IS EXPECTED. THE COMBINATION OF HOT TEMPERATURES AND HIGH HUMIDITY WILL COMBINE TO CREATE A SITUATION IN WHICH HEAT ILLNESSES ARE POSSIBLE. DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS…STAY IN AN AIR-CONDITIONED ROOM…STAY OUT OF THE SUN…AND CHECK UP ON RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS. AVOID LEAVING PETS OR FAMILY MEMBERS IN HOT CARS. &&
