Prepare for Summer Season
Summer HEAT Safety

If you work outdoors, stay hydrated and find shade to take a break from the heat.

Pets are also vulnerable to high temperatures. If they are outside, provide them plenty of cool water and access to shade.

Remember: Never leave people or pets in a closed car on a hot day!
