Additional cooling centers will be opened as needed. Residents effected by heat and humidity can also enjoy a break at their local libraries, park centers, and museums. If your home is without power and this is a health issue, you are advised to seek alternative arrangements until the power returns in your home, if staying home overnight creates a serious threat.
DPL advises residents to treat all fallen wires as if they were live, stay away and contact your power company. Never touch a power line, if in doubt, step away. Limbs, branches and lines are being removed as quickly as possible, but in some areas, this is a large operation. Drive cautiously and watch for obstructions.
The American Red Cross reminds everyone that when the temperature rises above 90-degrees, we are all at risk for heat-related illnesses. Symptoms include nausea, dizziness, flushed or pale skin, heavy sweating and headaches. Young children and the elderly are at the highest risk for heat-related illnesses. Also, remember not only your family, but check on elderly neighbors as well. Keep pets inside or in well shaded areas, with ample water supply.
