City urges residents to hydrate, use sun protection as triple-digit heat begins
Summary
A city staff member told meeting attendees the area is seeing triple-digit temperatures and advised residents to hydrate (beginning the night before), wear hats and sunscreen, and take other precautions; the remarks were part of citywide messaging from the fire department and other departments.
A city staff member said during a city meeting that the area has begun to experience triple-digit temperatures and urged residents to take precautions against heat-related illness.
“It sneaks up on us fast,” the staff member said. “We always encourage people if you're going to be spending time outside, we want to make sure that you hydrate, and and that starts the night before.”
The staff member urged people who expect to be outdoors to begin hydrating the night before and to bring sun protection such as hats, sunglasses and sunscreen. “Always look to bring things like, you know, hats or sunglasses and sunscreen and and protection so when you're out in the sun, you can avoid the extreme heat rays,” they said.
The comments described continuing citywide messaging, coordinated through the fire department and other city departments, to remind residents to monitor temperatures and take protective measures. No motions or votes were taken on the remarks; they were presented as public-safety guidance.
