Heat Advisory
Extreme heat can directly affect our health, through heat-related illnesses, and can indirectly affect our health by putting a strain on infrastructure, through events like power outages and droughts.
During periods of extreme heat, your body may not be able to cool itself or stay hydrated like it normally does. This can cause different kinds of heat-related illnesses, like heat stroke, heat exhaustion, heat cramps, sunburn, and heat rash.
Symptoms can include muscle cramping, unusually heavy sweating, shortness of breath, dizziness, headaches, weakness, and nausea.
