🌡️ It’s a hot one today, and we have even hotter temperatures coming in the days ahead!

Hot weather can be especially dangerous for older adults. People age 65 and older are more likely to experience heat-related illnesses. If you or a loved one are in need of a cooling center, you can find one at https://www.wake.gov/ 💧 Help yourself or a loved one stay safe by following these CDC tips: • Drink plenty of water, even if you don't feel thirsty. • Stay indoors in air-conditioned spaces when possible. • Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing. • Avoid strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day. • Check in on older family members, friends, and neighbors. ⚠️ Watch for signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke, including heavy sweating (or hot, dry skin), dizziness, headache, nausea, confusion, weakness, a rapid pulse, or fainting. If someone has a high body temperature, becomes confused, loses consciousness, or stops sweating despite the heat, call 911 immediately. Thank you to all our volunteers who check in on our neighbors with each delivery to ensure folks are staying cool and hydrated! Let's work together to keep our seniors safe this summer. ❤️
