Description
The National Weather Service Pittsburgh is forecasting dangerously hot conditions across our area through the remainder of the week, with temperatures climbing into the upper 90s and heat index values making it feel even hotter. Please take precautions to protect yourself and your loved ones.
🌡️ Lincoln Borough Cooling Center will be open to help residents stay safe during this heat event, from 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM for the remainder of this week.
Heat Safety Tips:
💧 Drink plenty of water—even if you don't feel thirsty.
❄️ Stay in air-conditioned buildings whenever possible.
☀️ Avoid strenuous outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day (typically 11 AM–6 PM). 👕 Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing.
👨👩👧👦 Check on elderly neighbors, young children, and anyone with medical conditions, as they are especially vulnerable to heat-related illnesses. 🐾 Make sure pets have plenty of fresh water and shade. Bring them indoors whenever possible, and never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle—temperatures inside can become life-threatening within minutes.
🚑 Know the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. If someone shows signs of confusion, loses consciousness, or has a high body temperature, call 911 immediately.
Please take this heat seriously and help us look out for one another. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and stay safe, Lincoln Borough
