Be Prepared to #BeatTheHeat

The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for Hartford County effective 11 AM to 8 PM EDT Thursday August 4 and noon to 8 PM EDT Friday August 5. In response, the Town of Manchester is activating its warm weather protocol and opening of cooling across the community.

Cooling Centers: Senior Center, Weiss, MPD Lobby, Mary Cheney and Whiton Libraries.

Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances. Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When possible reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing when possible. To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location.

Heat stroke is an emergency! Call 9-1-1.
