EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR WAGONER COUNTY UNTIL 7 PM CDT THURSDAY.

Safety - what to do when the heat index is high
* Slow down. Strenuous activities should be reduced, eliminated, or rescheduled to the coolest time of the day. Individuals at risk should stay in the coolest available place, not necessarily indoors.
* Put less fuel on your inner fires. Foods (like proteins) that increase metabolic heat production also increase water loss.
* Drink plenty of water or other non-alcohol fluids. Your body needs water to keep cool. Drink plenty of fluids even if you don’t feel thirsty. Persons who (1) have epilepsy or heart, kidney, or liver disease, (2) are on fluid restrictive diets or (3) have a problem with fluid retention should consult a physician before increasing their consumption of fluids.
* Do not leave children or pets in the car. Even with the windows cracked open, interior temperatures can rise almost 20 degrees Fahrenheit within the first 10 minutes. Anyone left inside is at risk for serious heat-related illnesses or even death.
* Do not take salt tablets unless specified by a physician.
* Spend more time in air-conditioned places. Air conditioning in homes and other buildings markedly reduces danger from the heat. If you cannot afford an air conditioner, spending some time each day (during hot weather) in an air conditioned environment affords some protection.
* Don’t get too much sun. Sunburn makes the job of heat dissipation that much more difficult.
