By State Rep. Randy Lyness, news release

This is a useful tool to beat the summer heat.

 

INDIANAPOLIS - With hot weather officially here, it's important for Hoosiers to have access to a safe and cool place to stay.

The Indiana Family and Social Services Administration offers a free resource for Hoosiers to find cooling centers across the state.

Call 211 or 866-211-9966 to find the nearest cooling center or click here for a list of centers.

Additionally, the Indiana Department of Homeland Security has tips for staying safe in extreme heat:

• Use air conditioning or reflective materials in windows to help keep your house cooler;
• Watch for symptoms of heat-related illnesses and seek medical attention as necessary;
• Drink fluids regularly, regardless of activity level;
• Wear loose-fitting, light-colored clothing; and
• Avoid strenuous activities.

Also, the American Academy of Pediatrics has a video on protecting children from sunburn.

I urge Hoosiers to use these resources and tips to stay cool when the weather gets hot. Have a fun and safe summer.
