The National Weather Service in Upton has issued a Heat Advisory,

which is in effect from 11 AM this morning to 6 PM EDT Thursday.



* Heat Index Values...In the upper 90s.



* Timing...Through Thursday Afternoon. The highest heat index

  values will occur mainly during the afternoons.



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

  risk population who can not stay cool.



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.



New York City residents should call 3-1-1 to obtain "Beat the

Heat" safety tips.



Seniors and those with chronic health problems or mental health

conditions are at increased risk. Homes without air conditioning

can be much hotter than outdoors.



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 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.
