Things to be aware about during the Extreme Heat

Because of COVID-19, most of us have been cooped up inside air-conditioned homes, but if you've ventured outside, you've surely noticed summer heat has arrived. 🔥

Today, the heat index is expected to reach 102 to 107 across east Central Florida, according to the US National Weather Service Melbourne Florida, so it's important to recognize and respond to heat-related illnesses. For more information, visit ready.gov/heat.

➡️ Avoid strenuous activities.
➡️ Wear light clothing.
➡️ Check on family members and neighbors.
