When taking action to protect yourself from the heat, don’t forget about your furry friends! • If the asphalt is too hot for your feet, it's too hot for their feet! • Keep pets inside & hydrated! • Never leave pets alone in a hot car! #HeatAwarenessWeek

Heat affects us all, but some of us are at greater risk. People react differently to heat based on their age, health, and living conditions. Check in on your neighbors, friends, and family on hot days to make sure they’re staying cool! #HeatAwareness
