Point of View COUNCILMAN SUOZZI VISITS the Health Risks Increase with SOUTHERN BORDER Very Hot Weather What You Should Do in Very Hot and Humid Weather

TIPublished forM the BoroughES of Queens VOLUME 24, NO. 29 THURSDAY, JULY 18, 2019 25 CENTS Point of View COUNCILMAN SUOZZI VISITS THE Health Risks Increase With SOUTHERN BORDER Very Hot Weather What you should do in very hot and humid weather. Queens Times is reminding people that this is a potentially dangerous combination. Make sure to check on friends and neighbors who have health conditions, especially those who stay at home. It seems as though very hot weather has arrived earlier than normal. Remember to take the necessary precautions. Drink plenty of water. Stay out of the heat. Check on others. Extended heat and high humidity is not just uncomfortable, it is dangerous. More lives are lost from extreme heat than all other weather-related causes combined, including hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, ice storms and lightning. A rapid increase in body temperature is possible, with high temperatures and high humidity, because the body cannot cool itself. For the body to cool itself, the body sweats and the moisture evaporates off the skin. When it is humid out, evaporation doesn’t take place and the body cannot cool as well. Your body temperature can increase to a fatal 106 degrees in as little as 10-15 minutes. Many public places, like malls, libraries, senior centers, are air conditioned and are open to the public as daytime cooling Congressman Suozzi, along with other members of the CODEL, serving food to migrant families on the Mexico side of the Gateway International Bridge, in Matamoros.
