...HEAT ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 PM EDT THIS EVENING...



* HEAT INDEX VALUES...In the mid 90s due to temperatures in the 

  mid to upper 80s, and dewpoints in the lower to mid 70s.



* TIMING...This afternoon.



* IMPACTS...Extreme heat can cause illness and death among at- 

  risk population who cannot stay cool. The heat and humidity 

  may cause heat stress during outdoor exertion or extended 

  exposure.



PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



A Heat Advisory is issued when the combination of heat and

humidity is expected to make it feel like it is 95 to 99 degrees

for two or more consecutive days, or 100 to 104 degrees for any

length of time.



Seniors and those with chronic health problems or mental health

conditions are at an increased risk. Homes without air

conditioning can be much hotter than outdoor temperatures.



Use air conditioning to stay cool at home, or go to a place that

has air conditioning. Check on vulnerable friends, family members

and neighbors. To find a NYC cooling center, call 3 1 1 or visit

http://nyc.gov/oem



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! In cases of heat stroke call 9 1 1.
