🌤️ Mid-Mo Ambulance District Weather & Safety Update 🌤️
Residents of Moniteau and Morgan Counties, we’re seeing typical summer conditions across central Missouri with hot temperatures, abundant sunshine, and heat index values approaching or exceeding 100°F over the next several days. Isolated afternoon thunderstorms remain possible, so stay weather-aware if you’re spending time outdoors.
Here are a few simple ways to stay safe:
☀️ Stay hydrated. Drink water throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty.
🚗 Never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle. Interior temperatures can become life-threatening within minutes.
👵 Check on family, neighbors, and older adults who may be more vulnerable to heat-related illness.
🏃 Limit strenuous outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day, typically between 11:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.
🌩️ If thunderstorms develop, head indoors immediately. Remember: When thunder roars, go indoors.
🚜 Use extra caution on area roadways. Increased summer travel, farm equipment, motorcycles, and recreational traffic mean everyone should slow down, stay alert, and avoid distracted driving.
🚑 Know the signs of heat illness: dizziness, confusion, nausea, excessive sweating, or hot, dry skin. If someone is experiencing severe symptoms or becomes unresponsive, call 911 immediately.
Your Mid-Mo Ambulance District crews are on duty 24 hours a day, ready to respond whenever you need us.
Stay safe, stay cool, and have a great day, Moniteau and Morgan Counties! 💙❤️
