July is Extreme Heat Safety Month, and the Illinois Emergency Management Agency and Office of Homeland Security (IEMA-OHS) are asking everyone to understand the danger to you, your family, and your pets.

Extreme heat is defined as high heat and humidity, with temperatures above 90 degrees for at least two to three days. Older adults, children, and people with certain illnesses and chronic conditions are at greater risk from extreme heat. Take these steps to prepare for extreme heat and prevent heat-related illnesses:

*Hydrate with water, not caffeinated or alcoholic beverages
*Wear light-colored, lightweight, and loose-fitting clothing
*Avoid strenuous activity during mid-day
*Use awnings or curtains indoors to deflect the sun
*Fans will move air around, but do not lower your temperature
*Use air conditioning inside your home or visit a store or local mall
*Know your local cooling centers in Illinois https://keepcool.illinois.gov/
*Never leave children or pets in a vehicle
*Get trained in first aid to help those with heat illness
*Check on neighbors and elderly who may be more vulnerable to extreme heat

Food Safety

It can be difficult to keep food cold during warm weather, especially while picnicking or traveling. Keep meat, poultry, and seafood refrigerated until ready to grill. When transporting food, keep it at 40°F or below in an insulated cooler. One tip to help keep your cooler below 40°F is to pack beverages in one cooler and food in another and keep coolers in the shade.

To guard against cross-contamination, food should be kept separate. Raw meat, poultry, and seafood should be stored and prepared separately from fruits, vegetables, cheeses, salads and cooked foods.

Never thaw or marinate meat, poultry, or seafood on the counter. Harmful germs can multiply quickly at room temperature.

Wash your hands with soap and water before eating as well as before, during, and after preparing foods. Wash work surfaces, utensils, and the grill before and after cooking.

Know the symptoms of most types of food poisoning, which include diarrhea, severe cramps, fever, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and bloody diarrhea. Symptoms can begin from 30 minutes to three or more days after eating contaminated food. If symptoms are severe or last longer than two days, contact a doctor or health care provider.

More food safety tips and information about foodborne illnesses and symptoms can be found on the CDC Food Safety website. https://www.cdc.gov/food-safety/prevention/index.html

🍉 Frozen fruit pops: Blend yogurt with fruit, freeze in molds, and pack in a cooler for a refreshing treat!
🫗 Stay hydrated: Infuse water with lemon, cucumber, or berries to keep it fun and flavorful.
