With the extremely hot weather forecast for the Commonwealth, the Massachusetts Emergency
Management Agency (MEMA) is advising people to be cautious during this period of extreme heat, and
is offering some tips to help keep cool and safe.
"A few common sense measures can reduce heat -related problems, especially for the elderly, the very
young and people with respiratory ailments, who are more susceptible to the effects of high
temperatures," said MEMA Director Kurt Schwartz. "If this extreme weather continues over an extended
period, some communities may be setting up cooling centers to assist those seeking relief from the
oppressive heat."
