Utilities Ask Citizens to Lower Electric Use as Scorcher Continues

WPCNR Weather Scoop. From National Weather Service. July 4, 2002. 12 Noon E.D.T. The oppressive heat continues to cook White Plains and Westchester County. The Weather Service reports there is still a slight risk of a thunderstorm late this afternoon or evening, and advises that utility companies are pleading with consumers to scale back their electric use today.
THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CONTINUES THE HEAT ADVISORY THROUGH THIS EVENING.
TEMPERATURES RISING INTO THE 90S THIS AFTERNOON WILL COMBINE WITH SURFACE DEW POINT TEMPERATURES IN THE LOWER 70S TO PRODUCE A HEAT INDEX AND MAKE IT FEEL BETWEEN 100 AND 105 DEGREES.
CHILDREN, THE ELDERLY AND PEOPLE WITH CHRONIC AILMENTS ARE USUALLY THE FIRST TO SUFFER FROM THE HEAT. HEAT EXHAUSTION, CRAMPS, OR IN EXTREME CASES HEAT STROKE CAN RESULT FROM PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO THESE CONDITIONS.
FRIENDS, RELATIVES, OR NEIGHBORS SHOULD CHECK ON PEOPLE
WHO MAY BE AT RISK.
STOP OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES, DRINK LOTS OF WATER OR OTHER NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES, WEAR LIGHT COLORED/LIGHT WEIGHT CLOTHES, AND IF POSSIBLE, SPEND MORE TIME IN AIR CONDITIONED OR WELL VENTILATED PLACES.
TO HELP PREVENT A POSSIBLE DISRUPTION IN ELECTRIC SERVICE...
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND POWER COMPANIES ARE ASKING CUSTOMERS TO REDUCE POWER USAGE BY TURNING OFF ALL NON-ESSENTIAL APPLIANCES AND ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT.
