Keep Cool This July

July in Boston is the hottest month of the year, and we’re already expecting some dangerous heatwaves. Take steps now to protect yourself and your family:

• Sign up for your city’s emergency alerts for notifications and resources
• Drink water – more than you think you need
• Know where your city cooling centers are
• Close windows and shades during the day. Open windows at night
• Take frequent breaks if working outside
• Wear sunscreen under UV protective clothing
• Know the signs of heat-related illness

NOTE: Operations considers temperature issues in the Beacon Street building to be emergencies. If a room is too hot and lowering the thermostat doesn’t bring it down, email facilities@neco.edu ASAP.
