As temperatures rise ☀️, it is essential to be aware of the risks associated with heat exhaustion and heat stroke, and to take proactive steps to protect your well-being. Recognizing the warning signs is crucial to ensuring a safe and healthy summer, and safeguarding yourself and others. Symptoms of heat exhaustion may include heavy sweating, dizziness, nausea, and a rapid pulse, while heat stroke is characterized by a high body temperature, confusion, and loss of consciousness. To prevent these serious conditions, it is vital to stay hydrated, seek cool environments, and limit strenuous outdoor activities during peak heat hours, thereby promoting optimal health outcomes. Early recognition and prompt action can prevent serious health consequences and ensure a summer of optimal well-being.

REMINDER: Wisconsin’s Move Over Law recently expanded to include disabled vehicles. Motorists are required to move out of the lane closest to emergency and disabled vehicles that are stopped along the highway. If you can’t move over, slow down.

Disabled vehicles must have:
✅Hazard lights on, or
✅Emergency devices or flares placed near the vehicle, or
✅One or more persons attending to the vehicle and visible to motorists

The law is in place to add protection to roadside workers and now, other motorists. https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/statutes/statutes/346/II/072

Having photographs or videos of your home and possessions can serve as critical documentation to back up insurance claims. Include the contents of drawers and closets as well as jewelry and other valuables--the more thorough the better. Make sure you upload photos or videos to the cloud so they are safe and always available to you.
