 With a heat index forecast to be between 100 and 105,
Louisville Metro Government officials are urging residents to stay cool, stay
hydrated and stay informed. Here are a few ways to withstand hot weather:
Stay cool
- Stay
in air-conditioned buildings, including shopping malls, the Louisville
Free Public libraries, and Louisville Metro Parks and Recreation’s 13
community centers, where children and teens can also get a meal through
Dare to Care.
- Connect
with Metro United Way’s 2-1-1 information and referral service to locate
an air-conditioned option in your area. Call 2-1-1, visit metrounitedway.org
or text your ZIP code to 898211 (TXT211).
- Limit
outdoor activity, especially midday when it is the hottest part of the
day, and avoid direct sunlight.
- Wear
loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing.
- Check
on at-risk friends, family and neighbors at least twice a day.
Stay hydrated
- Drink
from two to four cups of water every hour while working or exercising
outside.
- Don’t
wait until you’re thirsty to drink.
NOTE: Metro Parks announced today that
because of the extreme heat, it is reducing pool admission costs by $1 through
the end of the season, making admission $1 for children and $2 for adults.
Parks also is reviewing the possibility of keeping one pool open past the end
of the season, if the extreme heat persists.
