IT'S HOT! How to beat the heat; Be
safe; Don't get burned!
Here
are some suggestions and recommendations to avoid the heat, adapted from the LA
County’s Emergency Survival Program
www.espfocus.org
It’s recommended that you call in advance before going to one of the Cooling
Centers in the city.
Call 2-1-1 for the nearest Cooling Center, or check with your local library.
TIPS FOR STAYING COOL AND SAFE
Don’t leave pets, children or the elderly in cars!!!
Avoid the sun from 10 AM to 3 PM when the burning rays are strongest
Reduce physical activity
Wear wide-brimmed hat and light colored, lightweight, loose-fitting clothes
when outdoors
Avoid hot, heavy meals that are heavy in proteins
Set your air conditioner between 75 and 80 degrees. If you don’t have AC, take
a cool shower twice a day and visit a public air conditioned facility
Drink plenty of fluids even if you are not thirsty. Avoid alcohol!
Use sunscreen with a protection factor of at least 15, if you need to be in the
sun
Don’t forget about your pets. They need water and shade!
Don’t leave pets, children or the elderly in cars!!! (It was worth repeating!)
The safety of our Neighborhood is not up to the Police...IT IS OURS!
It is up to everyone that lives in our community to watch out, not only for themselves but, for their neighbors. If you see cars that are parked and not moved for more than 72 hours call 311 and report it. If you see any vandalism, PLEASE report it. If you see someone that obviously doesn't belong or is doing something they shouldn't be, PLEASE report it. Lets keep our neighborhood clean, if you see furniture being dumped, call and have it removed.
WE ARE THE EYES AND EARS FOR THE POLICE. IT IS UP TO US TO KEEP OUR NEIGHBORHOOD SAFE!!!
