PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT...CORRECTED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NASHVILLE TN
416 AM CDT SUN JUL 16 2006

AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF HOT SUMMER WEATHER IS EXPECTED THIS
WEEK...WITH LITTLE...IF ANY...CHANCE FOR RAIN UNTIL NEXT
SATURDAY.

DAYTIME HIGHS WILL BE IN THE MID TO UPPER 90S THIS WEEK
OVER THE WESTERN TWO THIRDS OF THE MID STATE...WITH
HEAT INDEX VALUES CLIMBING TO BETWEEN 100 AND 105
DEGREES.

IF YOU PLAN ON BEING OUT IN THE HOT WEATHER THIS WEEK...THIS IS
PROBABLY A GOOD TIME TO REVIEW SOME HOT WEATHER SAFETY RULES.

FIRST...AND FOREMOST...NEVER...EVER...LEAVE CHILDREN OR PETS ALONE
IN A CLOSED VEHICLE...NOT EVEN FOR A MINUTE. TEMPERATURES IN A
CLOSED VEHICLE CAN QUICKLY REACH DEADLY LEVELS...OF OVER 115 DEGREES.

FREQUENTLY CHECK ON FRIENDS...RELATIVES...AND NEIGHBORS...TO BE SURE
THEY ARE COPING WELL WITH THE HEAT.

SLOW DOWN AND AVOID STRENUOUS ACTIVITY...ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE A
HEALTH PROBLEM...SUCH AS ASTHMA.

AVOID PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO THE SUN.

USE SUN SCREEN IF YOU HAVE TO BE OUTDOORS FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF
TIME.

WEAR LOOSE FITTING...LIGHTWEIGHT...LIGHT COLORED...CLOTHING.

DRINK PLENTY OF NON ALCOHOLIC FLUIDS.

SAY INSIDE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE...USING FANS OR AIR CONDITIONERS TO
KEEP COOL.


DOING THESE FEW THINGS WILL HELP PREVENT UNHEALTHY REACTIONS TO THE
HEAT...SUCH AS HEAT CRAMPS...HEAT STRESS AND HEAT STROKE.
