Heat Advisory in Santa Rosa

The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for a majority of the Bay Area, including all of Santa Rosa, through Friday evening, Sept. 6, at 8 p.m. This is forecasted to be a moderate heat risk event locally.

Residents are encouraged to take the following actions:

• Drink plenty of fluids, stay cool, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.
• Beat the heat and check the backseat! Do not leave young children and pets in unattended vehicles. Car interiors will reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.
• Take extra precautions when outside. Wear lightweight and loose-fitting clothing. Try to limit strenuous activities to the early morning or evening. Take action when you see heat exhaustion and heat stroke symptoms.
• To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air-conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat should move to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency! Call 9 1 1.
