Dangerous Heat Affecting the City of Los Angeles

This is an important message from the City of Los Angeles NotifyLA System

Dangerous heat for the LA Region is expected from today through at least Wednesday.

Los Angeles is expecting another heat wave from today through at least Wednesday. The City of Los Angeles has air-conditioned cooling centers at designated Recreation and Parks facilities open 10am-9pm. In addition, the Los Angeles Public Library’s branches also serve as cooling centers during their regular business hours.

#PTAProud #PTA4Kids #HowWePTA #PTAExcellence #LASchools #LDCChampionMentality #HighlandsCouncilPTA #HeatRelief4LA

Other cooling sites, including their locations and dates and hours of operation can be found at: Emergency.LACity.gov/Updates 

Augmented Cooling Centers are safe, free locations to rest and relax during extreme heat.  If you have lost power, you can also come to an augmented cooling center to charge your phone, charge a medical device or assistive device like a wheelchair, and get water. Augmented cooling centers also have refrigeration available for medications- please call the center prior to arriving to ensure that appropriate services are available.

Report outages so that the Department of Water and Power (DWP) is aware of them. Call 1-800-DIAL DWP (1-800-342-5397) or visit LADWP/Outages. For more information on what to do if you lose power, visit: LADWPNews.


BE PERSONALLY PREPARED:
Keep cool by resting in shady areas or buildings with air conditioning and drinking plenty of water. If you do not live in an air-conditioned building or your building has lost power, you can take refuge from the heat at a cooling center. You may call 311 to identify the cooling centers closest to you, or visit Ready.LACounty.gov/Heat to see a map of cooling center locations, and hours of operation. 


HELP YOUR COMMUNITY PREPARE:
Check on relatives and neighbors, especially if they have pre-existing health conditions or are sensitive to heat.  Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances.  Additional information about staying safe during extreme heat, and other cooling resources can be found at Emergency.LACity.gov/Extreme-Heat.  


IF YOU MUST BE OUTSIDE:
Take extra precautions if you work, exercise, or spend time outside. When possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening, or until this period of extreme heat is over.  To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments and staying hydrated. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing when possible.  Employers must provide access to sufficient water. 
Heat stroke is a life-threatening emergency; anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location, and then immediately call 911.  Non-emergency heat-related information call 311.

El aviso de calor para la región de Los Angeles permanecerá en efecto, empezando desde este desde hoy hasta al menos el miércoles.

Los Ángeles espera otra ola de calor desde hoy hasta al menos el miércoles. La ciudad de Los Ángeles cuenta con centros de refrigeración con aire acondicionado en instalaciones designadas de parques y recreación, abiertos de 10 a. m. a 9 p. m. Además, las sucursales de la Biblioteca Pública de Los Ángeles también sirven como centros de enfriamiento durante su horario comercial habitual.

ESTAR PERSONALMENTE PREPARADO:
Manténgase fresco descansando en áreas con sombra o edificios con aire acondicionado y bebiendo mucha agua. Si no vives en un edificio con aire acondicionado o tu edificio se ha quedado sin electricidad, puedes refrescarte del calor en un centro de enfriamiento. Puede llamar al 311 para identificar los centros de enfriamiento más cercanos a usted o visitar https://ready.lacounty.gov/heat/ para ver un mapa de las ubicaciones de los centros de enfriamiento y los horarios de atención.


AYUDE A SU COMUNIDAD A PREPARARSE:
Revisa a tus familiares y vecinos, especialmente si tienen problemas de salud preexistentes o son sensibles al calor.  Los niños pequeños y las mascotas nunca deben dejarse solos en los vehículos bajo ninguna circunstancia. Puede encontrar información adicional sobre cómo mantenerse seguro durante el calor extremo y otros recursos de enfriamiento en www.emergency.lacity.org/heat.
SI USTED TIENE QUE ESTAR AFUERA:
Tome precauciones adicionales si trabaja, hace ejercicio o pasa tiempo al aire libre. Cuando sea posible, reprogramar las actividades extenuantes para las primeras horas de la mañana o la tarde, o hasta que termine este período de calor extremo.  Para reducir el riesgo durante el trabajo al aire libre, la Administración de Salud y Seguridad Ocupacional recomienda descansos frecuentes en ambientes sombreados o con aire acondicionado y mantenerse hidratado. Use ropa liviana y holgada cuando sea posible.  Los empleadores deben proporcionar acceso a suficiente agua. 


El golpe de calor es una emergencia que pone en peligro la vida. Cualquier persona abrumada por el calor debe ser trasladada a un lugar fresco y sombreado, y luego llamar inmediatamente al 911. Puede encontrar información relacionada con el calor que no sea de emergencia llamando al 311.
