Environment Canada: Be prepared for extreme heat
With Wellington County under another heat warning this past week, residents continue to deal with the impact of an extremely dry summer.
Environment Canada offers a number of tips for dealing with extreme weather including:
- frequently visiting neighbours, friends and older family members, especially those who are chronically ill, to make sure that they are cool and hydrated;
- rescheduling or planning outdoor activities during cooler parts of the day;
- never leave people or pets in your care inside a parked vehicle or in direct sunlight; and
- prepare meals that don’t need to be cooked in your oven.
