The Arkansas Department of Health is warning residents to take precautions against extreme heat, particularly for vulnerable populations such as children under 4 and seniors 65 and older.
Staying Safe in the Heat
State health officials recommend staying in air-conditioned areas during the hottest hours of the day, wearing light and loose-fitting clothing, and drinking water often to stay hydrated. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over 1,000 people die in the United States each year from extreme heat.
