Attention: The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for the rest of this week and into next week! These temperatures put many of our neighbors without shelter in particular danger of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
Please go to UT Heat Advisory for ways that you can help, instructions on how to watch for heat related illness, and a list of shelters providing extra space to get out of the heat.
