Heat & Water Safety Alert
from Reno News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
With temps soaring, REMSA Health is sounding the alarm on heat illness and drowning dangers — with 34 heat-related calls this year alone, up from 117 last year. Kids and seniors are most at risk: children’s bodies heat up 3-5x faster, and 80% of U.S. heat deaths are over 60. Know the signs — from cramps to heat stroke (severe headache, flushed skin, no sweat) — and call 911 immediately. Hot cars kill: 31 kids last year, 5 already this year. Always “look before you lock” and teach kids cars aren’t play areas. Water safety? Drowning is silent and fast — assign a dedicated water watcher, never leave kids unattended, use life jackets and pool alarms. Stay cool, hydrated, and vigilant — prevention saves lives.
