Extreme Heat Alert - Take Precautions Through the End of the Week

ATTENTION COLUMBIA RESIDENTS

High temperatures combine with high humidity will create dangerous weather conditions in the Midlands over the weekend.
Please review the following recommendations and stay safe!

• Listen to the local news for critical updates from the Nation Weather Service (NWS).
• Never leave children or pets alone in enclosed vehicle.
• Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids even if you do not feel thirsty.
• Avoid drinks with caffeine or alcohol.
• Eat small meals and eat more often.
• Avoid extreme temperature changes. 
• Wear loose-fitting, lightweight, light-colored clothing.
• Avoid dark colors because they absorb the sun's rays.
• Slow down, stay indoors and avoid strenuous exercise during the hottest part of the day.
• Take frequent breaks if you must work outdoors.
• Check on family, friends, and neighbors.

Remember COVID-19 is Still a Threat.

• COVID transmission does NOT decrease in hot weather.
• People infected with, or recovering from, COVID-19 are likely more vulnerable to heat stress.
• Maintain a Distance of at least 6' from other people when you must go out.
• Wear a mask when you must go out.
