Summer is a great time to get out of the house with your furry friends, but before you raise the woof with a walk or a trip to the bark-park, think about these tips.: - Check pavement temps for your pet’s paws – they are more sensitive to heat than people! - Always bring water, it hits the Spot. - And fetch some shade whenever you can!

Heat is developing this week, and higher humidity will cause it to feel warmer than expected & make it more difficult to cool down. Stay hydrated, and watch for signs of heat illness in yourself & others. Never leave anyone in a parked car, vehichles become deadly hot quickly.
High pressure builds over the area bringing hot conditions to southwestern CA, from the interior to the coastal valleys. Monsoonal moisture will also arrive Tuesday, leading to temperatures feeling hotter than expected. Stay hydrated, seek shade, and watch for signs of heat exhaustion in yourself and others. Seek shelter in cool buildings, and never leave anyone in a parked car. Vehicles can become dangerously hot quickly.

🌊 #Tsunami are a series of powerful waves often caused by underwater earthquakes or landslides. As tsunami waves approach the shore, they build in size, their currents intensify, and they become a threat to life & property. Go to tsunami.ca.gov for more information.
Color graphic showing how a tsunami is generated by an underwater earthquake. The ocean floor moves vertically, displacing a large amount of water. Waves are generated and move out in all directions across the ocean, some traveling as fast as 600 miles per hour. As waves enter shallow water nearshore, they compress, their speed slows, and they build in height. The wave height increases, and associated currents intensify, becoming a threat to life and property.
