FEMA Promotes Extreme Heat Safety and Preparedness Ahead of Dangerous Long Duration Heat Wave

Extreme heat is the leading weather-related cause of death in the U.S. However, heat related illnesses and deaths are largely preventable with proper planning, education and action. In April, FEMA launched its annual #SummerReady Campaign with an Extreme Heat Summit to help people and communities build local capacity to prepare for and take actionable steps to address extreme heat. The Summer Ready Campaign provides free and low-cost tips to protect against this serious hazard. As we continue to experience the impacts of this extreme hazards, FEMA urges individuals in affected areas to pay close attention to weather forecasts, heed the advice from local officials and follow these tips to stay safe during extreme heat.

Understand Your Risk and Hazard. Summer heat can be especially dangerous for older adults, those who work outside, people with certain health conditions, and those without access to air-conditioning. It’s important to recognize the signs of heat exhaustion, heat cramps, heat stroke and ways to respond. While all heat-related illnesses can require medical attention, heat stroke is always a medical emergency. If you experience – or notice someone else experiencing the symptoms of heat stroke, call 9-1-1 and get the person to a cooler place right away.
Keep Everyone Safe. Never leave children or pets alone in hot vehicles. Heat can rise in a car up to 20 degrees in just 10 minutes. It is important to check on family, friends and neighbors who do not have air conditioning and who spend much of their time alone.
Stay Cool. Fans alone aren’t enough in high heat and high humidity. FEMA encourages people and especially those that are vulnerable to go somewhere with air conditioning or visit a public place like the library, museum, or shopping mall to stay cool. Other ways to keep cool include wearing lightweight, loose-fitting clothing, taking a cool shower or bath to cool off and if you are at home, keep curtains closed to keep the heat out.
Stay Hydrated. Drink plenty of water even if you do not feel thirsty and avoid drinks with caffeine. If you have epilepsy or heart, kidney, or liver disease, are on fluid-restricted diets, or have a problem with fluid retention consult a doctor before increasing liquid intake.
Check the Air Quality. Hot weather can make air quality worse. Poor air quality can be especially dangerous for people with heart or lung disease, older adults and children. You can enter your zip code on the AirNow.gov page to get air quality data where you live.

Visit Ready.gov or Listo.gov for more information on how to stay safe before, during and after extreme heat.

Grand Opening of the 2024 Congressional Art Competition Exhibition

Body

Congresswoman Adams will host a public exhibition this month to showcase North Carolina’s 12th Congressional District’s student submissions for the Congressional Art Challenge.

The five finalists for the prestigious artwork competition will be recognized by Rep. Adams during the program, and all remaining submissions from the district will be installed in the Star Gallery of the Mint Museum Uptown, where they will be on display for two weeks. Members of Congress reserve the right to choose the winners of the competition within their districts themselves. However, Rep. Adams, an artist, art professor, and art historian, chooses an independent panel of judges to determine five finalists, including a winner, two runners up, and two honorable mentions.

The winning piece will be celebrated at a Winner’s Celebration at the Capitol Visitor Center in Washington, D.C. on June 27th, after which it will be on display in the U.S. Capitol Cannon tunnel for the next year, alongside the other over 400 winners from around the country. The two runners up will be on display in Congresswoman Adams’ office at the U.S. Capitol in Washington D.C., and the two honorable mentions will be on display in her district office in Charlotte.

The general public is invited to attend the public reception on May 19th, but we ask that you please RSVP using the form below.

If you are unable to attend the reception, the gallery will remain open to the public until June 2nd.
