The Burlington County Health Department is reminding residents to stay cool, stay hydrated, and to stay informed.
Keeping cool will keep you and your loved ones healthy on days like this. If you do not have air conditioning, consider going to the mall or one of our libraries located throughout the county. It is important to drink more fluids, but to avoid alcohol and high sugar drinks. If you plan to go outside, wear loose, lightweight clothing and never leave any persons, especially infants or young children, or animals in a closed, parked vehicle.
Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency, call 9-1-1
