Precautionary/preparedness actions...
An Excessive Heat Watch means that a prolonged period of hot
temperatures is expected. Hot temperatures may create a DANGEROUS
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.
Take extra precautions, if you work or spend time outside. When
possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or
evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat
stroke. Wear light weight and loose fitting clothing when
possible and drink plenty of water.
