* WHAT...Dangerously hot conditions with heat index values of 110 to

* WHERE...Portions of northeast and northern Florida and southeast
Georgia.

* WHEN...From 11 AM to 8 PM EDT Wednesday.

* IMPACTS...Heat related illnesses increase significantly during
extreme heat and high humidity events.

Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of
the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.

Do not leave young children and pets in unattended vehicles. Car
interiors will reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.

Take extra precautions when outside. Wear lightweight and loose
fitting clothing. Try to limit strenuous activities to early morning
or evening. Take action when you see symptoms of heat exhaustion and
heat stroke.

To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and
Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in
shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat
should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an
emergency! Call 9 1 1.
