August is National MedicAlert Awareness Month.

MedicAlert tags or bracelets are a form of medical IDs that can alert first responders and healthcare professionals to a patient’s medical condition during an emergency.

Groups like the MedicAlert Foundation provide vital medical identification services to individuals with underlying medical conditions, allergies or specific healthcare needs.

If you are interested in learning more about the MedicAlert Foundation and these forms of medical identification, please visit www.medicalert.org/.

Ventura County will see very hot weather through Friday, with temperatures over 100°F possible in many inland areas.

Today is expected to be the hottest day of the current heat wave, with temperatures reaching their highest levels across Ventura County. Overnight temperatures will stay warm, providing little relief from the heat and increasing the risk of heat-related illness.

Fire danger will also be high in many mountain and foothill areas through Friday. High surf and dangerous rip currents are expected through Thursday due to swells from Tropical Storm Iselle. There is also a small chance of showers late Wednesday and Thursday. Temperatures are expected to drop significantly this weekend, bringing much-needed relief from the heat.
