Heat safety requires recognizing and treating early signs of heat exhaustion before they escalate to life-threatening heat stroke. Preventative measures include drinking 1 cup of water every 15–20 minutes, wearing lightweight clothing, and avoiding strenuous activity during peak afternoon hours. Never leave children, pets, or vulnerable individuals unattended in vehicles. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Review these actionable categories to handle extreme heat safely:

1. Heat Illness Recognition

• Heat Exhaustion: Symptoms include heavy sweating, pale skin, muscle cramps, fatigue, dizziness, and headache.
• Heat Stroke: This is a medical emergency. Symptoms include extremely high body temperature (above 103° F), red and dry skin (no sweating), confusion, and a rapid pulse. [1, 2]

2. Immediate First Aid

• For heat exhaustion, move the person to a shaded or air-conditioned area, remove excess clothing, and have them sip cool water or sports drinks. [1]
• For heat stroke, call 9-1-1 immediately. While waiting for help, rapidly cool the person’s body using ice packs or cold, wet towels applied to the head, neck, armpits, and groin. [1]

3. Prevention & Daily Practices

• Hydrate Constantly: Drink fluids consistently even if you do not feel thirsty. Avoid alcohol and beverages heavy in sugar or caffeine.
• Acclimatize: Gradually increase your workload or time spent in the heat over 1-2 weeks to allow your body to adjust.
• Stay Cool: Spend time in air-conditioned buildings during the hottest parts of the day. Rely on a combination of air conditioning and fans, as fans alone do not lower body temperature when temperatures exceed 90° F. [Heat Safety]

Across the NJ area, hundreds of individuals, schools and companies are working together to collect pop tabs to benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities.  Those pop tabs are then recycled by the charity’s recycling partner, United Scrap Metal, and the charity will then receive the market value of the recycled metal, plus a charitable match from United Scrap Metal.  We invite you to join us in supporting families at Ronald McDonald House today.

Volunteers are central to the mission of Habitat for Humanity. What began as a grass roots effort has become a venture dedicated to building simple, decent and affordable housing in partnership with families that lack adequate shelter. We need funding to operate, but we would not move forward without volunteers!

A foodshed is the geographic location that produces the food for a particular population. The term describes a region where food flows from the area that it is produced to the place where it is consumed, including the land it grows on, the route it travels, the markets it passes through, and the tables it ends up on.

The Foodshed Alliance works to strengthen the northern New Jersey “foodshed,” working particularly in Sussex, Warren, Morris, Passaic, Bergen, Essex and Hudson counties
