Public Health reminds everyone to take precautions to avoid heat-related illness,
especially older adults, young children, outdoor workers, athletes, and people with
a chronic medical condition who are especially sensitive to negative health impacts
from extreme heat. Public Health offers the follow-ing recommendations duringhigh temperature days:
• Drink plenty of water and keep hydrated throughout the day.
• If you must go out, plan your day to avoid going out during the hottesthours, and wear sunscreen. Wear lightweight, light-colored clothes, and
wear a hat or use an umbrella.
• Cars get very hot. Never leave children or pets in cars and call 911 if you see achild or pet in a car alone.
• Beware of heat-related illness, like heat stroke and call 911 if you see these
symptoms: high body temperature, vomiting, and pale and clammy skin.
• Check on those at risk, like those who are sick, older adults, pregnant women,
and children, and those who live alone.
• If you are wearing a mask, avoid strenuous workouts wearing face coveringsor masks not intended for athletic purposes.
• Visit your power company’s website or contact them by phone to determine if
you are scheduled for a rolling power outage.
“While it is very important that everyone take special care of themselves, it is equallyimportant that we reach out and check on others, in particular those who are especially
vulnerable to the harmful effects of high temperatures, including children, the
elderly, and their pets,” said Muntu Davis, MD, MPH, Los Angeles County Health
Officer. “High temperatures are not just an inconvenience, they can be dangerous
and even deadly. But we can protect ourselves, our families, and our neighbors if
we take steps to remain cool and hydrated. It is critically important to never leave
children, elderly peo-ple, or pets unattended in homes with no air conditioning and
particularly in vehicles, even if the win-dows are ‘cracked’ or open, as temperatures
inside can quickly rise to life-threatening levels. If you have an elderly or infirm
neighbor who is without air conditioning, check on them throughout the day.”
County and City partners have planned ways to safely operate cooling centers during
times of high heat. Residents who do not have access to air conditioning are encouraged
to take advantage of these free cooling centers. To find a location near you, visit
