Safety Tips for Outdoor Plans

As this weekend also includes Father’s Day celebrations, many families may plan to spend time outdoors. But with such high temperatures, it’s important to stay safe.

For those with elderly family members, small children, or pets, make sure they are kept in cool, shaded areas. Extreme heat can cause heatstroke, dehydration, and other health problems, especially for vulnerable groups.
