Stay safe, stay cool View as Webpage June 11, 2024 Reno Connect | Prepare for Summer Heat Connecting Citizens to Our Community   Stay Safe, Stay Cool During Unseasonably Hot Weather The northern Nevada region is experiencing temperatures well above average over the next few days, reaching near 100 degrees. The City of Reno is prepared for the heat and is urging you to take measures to stay cool. Heat-Related Illness: Even though summer is just getting started, you should know the risks of heat-related illnesses and the appropriate actions to take in an emergency. Paramedics with the Reno Fire Department say heat stroke and heat exhaustion occur when the body is not able to regulate its internal temperature and is caused by prolonged exposure to the sun and high temperatures. Reno paramedics recommend to drink plenty of water, recreate outdoors in the early morning or evening hours, and to avoid being outside during the hottest portions of the day. Hot Cars: During hot weather, never leave pets or children unattended in vehicles! A car can heat as much as 20 degrees in just 10 minutes. Furthermore, a child's body temperature rises three to five times faster than an adult's. When a child is left in a hot vehicle, they could die within minutes. Tips to prevent these tragedies include: Never leave children or pets in a vehicle, even for a minute. Create reminders by leaving items next to your child or pet that are needed at your destination. If you see a child left alone in a hot vehicle, call 9-1-1 immediately. If you see an animal left alone in a hot vehicle, call Washoe County Regional Animal Services at 775-322-3647 (DOGS). Pools, splash pads, and other ways to stay cool: Our pools and splash pads have just opened for the season. The City operates two indoor pools and two seasonal outdoor pools for you and your family to cool off. Schedules for all four City pools are available at Reno.gov. There are several splash pads and water toys available at several City parks. These parks include Cyan Park, Idlewild Park, Las Brisas Park, Panther Valley Park, Pat Baker Park, Silver Lake Park, Summit Ridge Park, Wheatland Park, and Yori Park. Hours of operation are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. Don't forget to stay hydrated and wear sunblock! Pet Safety: To keep our pets cool and safe during hot weather, always provide plenty of fresh water and shaded areas. Keep them indoors if possible. Never leave your pet in a hot car, as temperatures can quickly become dangerously high. Avoid walking your pet on hot asphalt, which can burn their paws. Instead, walk them early in the morning or in the early evening hours. Also consider using pet-safe cooling mats or vests to help regulate body temperature. Please report any pet left in a hot car to law enforcement immediately.
