🌡️ HEAT ADVISORY FOR ROCKINGHAM COUNTY 🌡️

A Heat Advisory is in effect for Rockingham County. High temperatures combined with humidity can make it feel much hotter and increase the risk of heat-related illnesses.

💧 Stay Safe:
✅ Drink plenty of water—even if you don't feel thirsty.
✅ Limit outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day.
✅ Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing.
✅ Take frequent breaks in the shade or air conditioning.
✅ Never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle.
✅ Check on elderly neighbors, family members, and anyone without reliable air conditioning.

🐾 Don't forget your pets!
• Make sure they have plenty of fresh water.
• Walk them early in the morning or after sunset.
• Hot pavement can burn their paws.

⚠️ Some signs that could indicate that you may be dehydrated are:
❗️ Excessive thirst.
❗️ Not urinating as much as usual.
❗️ Dark yellow urine.

If you think you may be dehydrated, drink water, and find somewhere cool to go, if possible. 911 is not always needed, and dehydration can be remedied by drinking plenty of fluids (not soda, sweet tea, or anything else full of sugar or carbonation). Remember that children, the elderly, pregnant women, and those with chronic illnesses are at an increased risk of becoming dehydrated. So check on those that may fit in these categories.

⚠️ Know the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. If someone becomes confused, loses consciousness, or has a high body temperature, call 911 immediately.

Stay cool, stay hydrated, and look out for one another. Share this post to help keep our community safe! ❤️

Eden Rescue Squad is seeking donations of drinks and individually packaged snacks to support our dedicated first responders during calls and training sessions.

These men and women work long hours serving our community, often with limited time for breaks, and sometimes in the middle of the night when there are not many food or drink options available. Your contribution will help ensure they stay energized, hydrated, and ready to respond when it matters most.

Drinks and snacks are used not only during training sessions, but also on fires and larger incident calls, where fire, rescue, EMS, and police personnel spend hours on these calls.

𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗹𝘂𝗱𝗲:

• Bottled water and sports drinks.
• Individually packaged snacks (granola bars, crackers, chips, etc.).
• Shelf-stable, easy-to-carry refreshments.
