As the high temperatures of the past week continue, Orange County would like to provide heat-survival tips and suggestions for enduring the heat.
The Department of Social Services can provide heat-related assistance to low-income elderly residents and medically fragile individuals. A limited number of fans are available for those who qualify. Additionally, DSS encourages residents to stay hydrated, stay indoors and take frequent breaks if working outdoors. More information about surviving the heat is available online at www.co.orange.nc.us
