Prepare for high temperatures Wednesday through Saturday
Some more hot days are headed our way. Starting Wednesday, Sept. 4, temperatures will rise to 90 degrees and higher. Thursday and Friday may reach over 100.
As per the George Fox heat protocol, please follow these steps:
- Stay hydrated by drinking water every 20 minutes.
- Schedule more strenuous work in the cooler parts of the day, such as the morning.
- Move to an air-conditioned building (Canyon Commons, Klages Center,and Murdock Library) if your building is too warm.
- Between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m., check on fellow employees and classmates every one to two hours.
- Know the symptoms of heat-related illnesses, which can be found at this link.
If you have any questions about best practices during high heat, please contact Kim Knoernschild, our environmental health and safety specialist, at kknoernschild@georgefox.edu.
