HURRICANE MILTON

While we are quiet, Florida is bracing for a major storm in Hurricane Milton.

Meanwhile, Hurricane Milton is a very strong CAT 4 and will likely be a CAT 5 again today.

Floridians are evacuating in massive numbers. The state is preparing for winds around 140 mph, maybe stronger, a 12 to 15 feet storm surge, and flooding rain.

If you have friends or family in Florida, check on them and ensure they know just how dire this situation is.

EMSA HEAT SAFETY TIPS

-HYDRATION is key in preventing heat-related illness. Drink plenty of water or electrolyte replacement drinks several hours before and during long exposure to the summer heat.

Wear light-colored, loose fitting clothing and a wide-brimmed hat if working outdoors, and take plenty of shade breaks.

No alcohol or caffeine.

If you do not have air conditioning, find a cooling station or public space (such as libraries or malls) during the day.

Don’t limit your use of air conditioning.

Use the buddy system if working outdoors and check on elderly neighbors.

Keep a cellphone on you at all times when outdoors, including walking, running daily errands, yard work or sports and physical activity.
