High temperatures are in the forecast for Norwalk. When the heat climbs, heat exhaustion and heat stroke can hit quickly.

Protect yourself, your family, and your pets by following these safety steps:
👚 Dress light: Stick to loose, lightweight, and light colored clothing to help your body stay cool.

💧 Hydrate consistently: Drink water throughout the day. It is best to avoid caffeine, alcohol, and sugary drinks, as they can dehydrate you faster.

💨 Stay cool inside: Limit outdoor time for you and your pets, especially during the hottest parts of the day. If you don't have air conditioning at home, try spending time in public, air conditioned spaces.
