July is one of the hottest months of the year and it's important that you keep these points in mind in order to protect your family and pets:

  • Wear loose-fitting, lightweight and light-colored clothing.
  • Keep yourself hydrated
  • Keep from doing outside activities in the middle of the day
  • Never leave children or pets alone in closed vehicles

Extreme heat can be dangerous and deadly, particularly for the elderly and infants, but staying indoors and drinking plenty of water will help you stay cool and hydrated when temperatures rise.
