BEAT THE EXTREME HEAT THIS SUMMER: FIND RESOURCES AND COOLING CENTERS
August 28, 2023
Extreme Heat: Third District Resources and Cooling Centers
Los Angeles County is experiencing extreme heat August 28 – 29 and Team Horvath wants our Third District communities to be prepared. The best up-to-date information on tips, countywide cool centers, and multilingual information is available at ready.lacounty.gov/heat/. If you live in the City of Los Angeles, you can call 3-1-1 for available cooling centers.
Tips for staying safe in extreme heat:
- Avoid the sun – stay indoors from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. when the burning rays are strongest.
- Drink plenty of fluids – drink 2 to 4 glasses of water every hour during times of extreme heat.
- Avoid alcohol – alcohol can cause dehydration. Drinking alcohol within 24 hours of working in the heat can increase the risk of heat illness.
- Wear appropriate clothing – wear a wide-brimmed hat and light-colored lightweight, loose-fitting clothes when you are outdoors.
- Stay cool indoors– set your air conditioner between 75° to 80°. If you don’t have air conditioning, take a cool shower twice a day and visit a public air conditioned facility.
- Monitor those at high risk – check on elderly neighbors and family and friends who do not have air conditioning. Infants and children up to 4 years old, people who overexert during work or exercise (e.g. construction workers) and people 65 years and older are at the highest risk of heat-related illnesses.
- Use sun screen – with a sun protection factor of at least 15 if you need to be in the sun.
- Keep pets safe – heat also affects your pets, keep them indoors or if they will be outside, make sure they have plenty of water and a shaded area to help them keep cool. Never leave your pet alone in a vehicle, even if the window is cracked or open.
