June 20, 2008 Special Edition – Excessive Heat Warning This heat advisory is targeted at the elderly and the very young or infirmed who might be much more sensitive to heat and thus at greater risk. Individuals who fall into this category should be especially careful by drinking plenty of water, seeking a Cooling Center for the day if no air conditioning is available in your living quarters and/or asking a friend or relative to check on the elderly frequently. People and pets should not be in enclosed vehicles without air-conditioning for any reason as temperatures can quickly climb to dangerous levels in just a few minutes. If you have concerns about a loved one or someone in your care who has Alzheimer’s, please call our 24/7 Helpline at 800.272.3900 – anytime of the day or night.
