The heat is on: Don’t overwork yourself in hot temperatures
If you’re working or playing outside under the hot August sun, you know that staying cool can be a challenge. It’s vital to your safety, of course, so take the proper steps to keep the heat from striking you down:
Water- Drink lots of it. Keep a water bottle handy in a shaded location so it doesn’t get too warm, and try to drink at least a cup every 20 minutes, whether you feel thirsty or not.
Shade-Avoid direct exposure to the sun when possible. Look for areas that aren’t already hot from sunlight earlier in the day, and where breezes can cool the air somewhat. Remember your sunscreen.
Break- Schedule regular breaks so everyone has a chance to cool down, get some water, and recover from the heat.
Acclimation- The body can learn to adapt to hot conditions, but don’t force it. Build up your tolerance for heat by gradually extending the amount of time you are in the sun.
Buddies- Keep an eye on your friends and family, and ask them to watch you for any signs of heat-related illness. People often don’t recognize the symptoms quickly enough.

Cigarette Butts
We would like to remind residents to dispose of cigarette butts properly. Disposing of them in the bushes, grass, or mulch areas have led to small brush fires. We don’t want to see a resident themselves and/or someone’s property damaged as a result of a fire caused by a cigarette butt. Please also keep our community looking great by not disposing of your cigarette butts in the parking lots.
Are you a grill master?
The weather is perfect for grilling after work or on the weekend when you are relaxing. Please remember that grilling is prohibited on your balcony as it is a fire hazard. RP offers first come first use grills at the pavilion for residents to utilize.
