As we head into the warmer summer weather, Federation Council encourages residents and visitors to look after yourself, your family and pets by following these tips:
- Stay hydrated and drink enough water.
- Keep out of the heat, look for shade, wear a hat and try not to be outside during the hottest parts of the day (11am-4pm).
- Encourage people to look after themselves and keep an eye out for the young, elderly, neighbours and friends.
- Don’t forget your pets and animals, ensure they have plenty of water and shade.
- Cool your home by closing blinds in the morning before the sun gets hot.
- Never leave kids, adults or pets in hot cars as the temperature can increase quickly.
- Council offices and libraries in Corowa, Howlong, Mulwala and Urana are air conditioned and provide a cooler environment.
- NSW Health – Beat the heat and stay well during hot weather.
