Reminders of Safety tips for extreme temperatures and summer activities
Over the next two days, the forecast calls for hot and humid weather conditions, with expected high temperatures each day of at least 90 degrees. The Office of Emergency Management and Communications (OEMC) wants to remind everyone to be aware of extreme temperatures and to be sure to take the necessary precautions to avoid heat-related emergencies.
Everyone is reminded to take the following steps to minimize the impact of hot weather:
* Drink plenty of water, at least eight glasses a day.
* Avoid going out in the heat during the hottest part of the day.
* All Chicago police district headquarters, libraries and public buildings can be used as temporary cooling centers.
* Residents should check on the well being of neighbors and relatives who may be susceptible to hot weather conditions. Call 3-1-1 to request a well being check and a ride to a cooling center.
* For assistance paying household utility bills, residents are reminded to contact Com Ed at call 888-806-CARE.
The City will continue to work closely with the National Weather Service to monitor local conditions. At this point the City has not activated its Extreme Weather Operations Plan, but we are ready to do so if necessary. For more information, or to sign up for extreme weather alerts, please visit http://www.alertchicago.com/ or view the OEMC's Facebook Page.
