Heat Emergencies on the Rise | Charleston News

Heat emergencies are surging in Kanawha County, with paramedics already responding to two today. They’re on high alert, urging everyone to heed early warning signs like thirst—your body’s cry for cooling down. Ignore it, and you risk heat exhaustion, which can spiral into life-threatening collapse with dangerously high temperatures. Stay safe by shifting outdoor activities to cooler hours, prep with frozen water bottles or wet towels, and above all: act before you need emergency help. Prevention is your best defense.
