PREVENTING HEAT STRESS


Preventing Heat Stress

·         Rule of thumb is drink one cup of water or other hydrating fluid every 15-20 minutes during heat stress conditions

·         Wear lightweight, light colored, loose clothing that allows free movement of cool air over the skin's surface

·         Use fans to help spot cooling

·         Make work demands lighter by taking frequent breaks in a cooler area, completing them over a longer time period

·         Schedule heavy workloads during the early morning hours when it's cooler and provide adequate water, rest and shade when >85°F

·         Report to Health Services if you feel you are experiencing a heat related disorder or call the Fire Department

 

ONE GREAT HOUR OF SHARING

One Great Hour of Sharing is a disaster relief offering which the Presbyterian Church shares with all denominations making available a quick response by the denominational relief teams without needing to wait for the offering to be taken. It is used mostly in weather related emergencies such as tornado relief in Mississippi, Birmingham and Tuscaloosa. It also funds the majority of the monies for the Presbyterian Hunger Program.

Shepherd of the Valley Presbyterian Church will be collecting for these gifts for One Great Hour of Sharing during the month of June. Please join us in this time of sharing in the care of others near and far in the name of Jesus Christ! Look for the envelopes in your bulletin and in the church office. Please make your checks to SVPC and mark them OGHS.
