Extreme Weather Warning: Record Breaking Heat Wave

Posted on June 28, 2013 | Leave a comment

7 Day Local Forecast

Weather Warning

A blistering, potentially historic and record-breaking heat wave is beginning today in the West, and is forecast to last at least through the weekend.

“An excessive heat warning is issued when temperatures are forecast to reach dangerous levels that will stress the body if precautions are not taken,” the weather service warns.

Infants and children, the elderly, as well as those with chronic medical conditions such as chronic kidney disease, asthma, hypertension and diabetes are at increased risk for heat-related illness, according to Robert Glatter, emergency room physician at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York. He says to prevent the adverse effects of heat-related illness, stay in a cool air-conditioned environment with access to plenty of cool fluids, mainly water.

The cause of the heat wave is a “massive and unusually strong high-pressure system” over the region, the weather service reports.

Check out this video on how to survive the blistering heat!

Tips to Prevent Heat Related Illnesses

Heat stroke—which occurs when the body can’t control its temperature—may result in disability or death if emergency treatment is not given. Heat exhaustion occurs when the body loses a large amount of water and salt contained in sweat.
Warning signs of heat stroke vary, but may include:
  • An extremely high body temperature (above 103 degrees Fahrenheit, orally)
  • Unconsciousness
  • Dizziness, nausea and confusion
  • Red, hot and dry skin (no sweating)
  • Rapid, strong pulse
  • Throbbing headache
  • Heavy sweating
  • Muscle cramps
  • Weakness
  • Headache
  • Paleness, tiredness, dizziness
If you see any of these signs for heat stroke or heat exhaustion, you may be dealing with a life-threatening emergency and should do the following:
  • Have someone call 911 while you begin cooling the victim.
  • Get the victim to a shady area.
  • Cool the victim rapidly with a cool bath or shower, or by sponging with cool water, until body temperature drops to 101-102 degrees Fahrenheit, orally.
  • If emergency medical personnel are delayed, call the hospital emergency room for further instructions.
  • Do not give the victim alcohol to drink.
  • Again, get medical assistance as soon as possible.

If a victim’s muscles twitch uncontrollably as a result of heat stroke, keep the victim from injuring him/herself, but do not place any object in the mouth and do not give fluids. If there is vomiting, make sure the airway remains open by turning the victim on his/her side.

Don’t Forget the Pets

 

Animals, particularly those that spend time outdoors, are vulnerable to the heat as well. Check out the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals websitefor important tips on keeping your pets protected from heat and other emergencies!

 

Hope everyone stays cool during this massive heat wave! Remember cooling centers such as libraries, community centers, and Sunvalley Mall are always a good alternative to maxing out your energy bill!

Concord Police Offers Free “Club” Anti-Theft Device

Posted on June 26, 2013 | Leave a comment

theclub

In a push to cut the likelihood of motor vehicle theft, the Concord Police have launched their new anti-theft program tackling some specific makes, models and years of vehicles that are stolen at a much higher rate than newer model vehicles. To combat this tread, the Concord Police Department is offering owners of these commonly stolen vehicles a free anti-theft device, known as “The Club.”

According to the City of Concord Press Release, “The purpose of this program – dubbed Operation Wheel-Lock — is to educate vehicle owners about their vulnerability to auto theft and to offer The Club for use as an extra layer of security and theft prevention.”

To view the eligibility requirements and more information on how to get your free anti-theft device, click here. Security Clubs will be distributed on a first-come-first-served basis from the Community Service Desk, on the 1st floor of the Concord Police Department.

To confirm the on-going availability of the Clubs and/or the Service Desk hours of operation, please call (925) 671-3220.
