Residents were advised to check on neighbors, family members & #pets, & to be aware of #heat related illnesses, such as #dehydration, heat exhaustion & #heatstroke.
Brian Hurley, a meteorologist at the #Weather Prediction Center, said the conditions are the result of a #HeatDome — a high-pressure system that traps hot air, like a lid on a pot, causing temperatures to rise day after day with little relief.

‘Gen Z’ workers break unspoken office rule exposing generation divide: 'Unprofessional'
… Good. Your mental and physical health when exposed to heat related risks is more important than ‘Presentation’.
If businesses insist on ‘Presentation’ then they should also pay their employees a ‘Uniform’ and ‘Hazard’ allowance for the requirement.

Why doctors are struggling to certify heat deaths even in this brutal summer

Climate change means more high temperatures, which means more changes of people succumbing to heat stroke.
A new method of first treatment for heat stroke victims is to put them into a bag of ice-water - this has increased survivability and reducing neurological damage...

What to do if someone collapsed due to heat exhaustion/heat wave/heat stoke?
(This is ***NOT*** a medical, nor first aid, _advice_. It's sharing something I learned years ago.)
If you know they collapsed because of heat, then any liquid is a must. The objective in the current situation is to replenish their water and cool down their body.
In a doctor talk show years ago, a caller asked, "What if the patient have certain liquid restrictions?"
The doctors agreed that in such an emergency, what is important is for the patient to survive, and in such a case, it is liquid and cooling them down. The side-effects can be addressed once they are out of danger. They also even suggested a worst-case scenario wherein only dirty water is available, in that case, use it. The hospital will take care of the rest.
The point being made was that, the patient will likely die if their liquid is not replenished and their body isn't cooled down. Replenishing the body's liquid is the first step in cooling down the body; moving the patient under a shade helps the outside of the body, but the internal cooling down is the critical part, that's where the patient is struggling.
It becomes very delicate for those with conditions like diabetes. In a scenario where only soda/softdrink is available, would it be safe to give it to the patient as first aid? More likely not, especially if their diabetes is really not good, and it becomes a big decision if you know, or were informed, the patient is diabetic.
This is why we should always bring water with us. Buy one or two. It will not only save your life, it can save the life of others too. You never know when the water you're carrying will be needed to save someone else's life.
And of course, you don't want to be the patient of a heat exhaustion or heat stroke.
(This is ***NOT*** a medical, nor first aid, advice. It's sharing something I learned years ago.)

Humans evolved to survive in a pretty narrow temperature range. When the body exceeds that range, it starts to shut down. Death can follow quickly, sometimes horrifically. The writer wishes she understood this better when she took a fateful hike recently on a hot summer day. Find out what she’s since learned reporting on the science of #heatstroke and #heatexhaustion, and what you need to know about this deadly force of nature. https://medium.com/wise-well/why-extreme-heat-kills-so-quickly-5318f31248dd

If you're working outside in the sun on a hot and humid day, and you start getting chills, take a break somewhere cool immediately. That's a symptom of #HeatExhaustion , which can lead to #HeatStroke if you keep going.
