Heat Emergency Alert Issued
A Heat Emergency Alert is declared when the heat index is forecast to be 105 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. Extreme heat affects the body's ability to regulate temperature, which can create dangerous conditions. Be sure to drink lots of water and take breaks often in the shade or air condition.
To help residents during the current heat emergency, Ride On is offering water to passengers and will provide buses as back up cooling centers should they be needed.
