When taking action to protect yourself from the heat, don’t forget about your furry friends! • If the asphalt is too hot for your feet, it's too hot for their feet! • Keep pets inside & hydrated! • Never leave pets alone in a hot car! #HeatAwarenessWeek

Staying heat-safe means planning ahead. Drink water before you're thirsty, know where nearby cooling centers are, and check in on others who are at high risk. maricopa.gov/heat #HeatAwareness

Heat affects us all, but some of us are at greater risk. People react differently to heat based on their age, health, and living conditions. Check in on your neighbors, friends, and family on hot days to make sure they’re staying cool! #HeatAwareness

#HeatAwareness Week continues today! Did you know that heat is the #1 weather-related killer in the U.S.? Protect yourself by staying hydrated, avoid being outdoors during the hottest part of the day (10am - 4pm), and never leaving kids or pets unattended in vehicles.

Everyone is at risk from the dangers of extreme heat, but groups that are most vulnerable include pregnant mothers, young children, the elderly, & those with health conditions. These groups should always have adequate hydration & a cool place to shelter and rest. #HeatAwareness
