☀️ Extreme Heat Safety ☀️
Hot weather can become dangerous quickly, especially for older adults, young children, people with disabilities, outdoor workers, and anyone living with chronic health conditions.
Watch for signs of heat exhaustion, including heavy sweating, dizziness, weakness, headache, nausea, muscle cramps, and cool or clammy skin. Move the person to a cooler location, loosen clothing, and provide cool water if they are able to drink.
Heat stroke is a medical emergency. Confusion, fainting, a very high body temperature, hot or red skin, a rapid pulse, or a lack of sweating can all be warning signs. Call 911 immediately.
Help keep yourself and others safe:
💧 Drink water often
🏠 Stay in air conditioning when possible
🕒 Avoid strenuous activity during the hottest part of the day
👕 Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing
🤝 Check on family members, friends, and neighbors
🚗 Never leave children, vulnerable adults, or pets inside a vehicle
Together, we can help keep our rural communities safe during extreme heat.

Planning ahead is one of the most thoughtful gifts you can give yourself and your loved ones.
*
Advanced directives help make your healthcare wishes known if there ever comes a time when you are unable to speak for yourself. They can help reduce stress, guide your family, and ensure your choices are respected during difficult moments.
*
Advanced directives may include options such as:
Health Care Proxy
Living Will
Do Not Resuscitate Orders / Medical Orders
*
Choosing what’s right for you starts with thinking about your values, talking with someone you trust, and discussing your wishes with your healthcare provider and loved ones.
*
Rural Advocacy and Support Services is here to help you understand the basics, explore your options, and connect with the right resources so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

💡 What is a NYS Pooled Trust—and could it help you or your loved one?
A NYS Pooled Trust can help individuals keep important benefits like Medicaid and SSI while still using their money for everyday needs and improving quality of life.
If you or someone you care about:
✔️ Has income or resources slightly over the limit
✔️ Is worried about losing benefits
✔️ Needs help navigating the system
—we’re here to help.
At Rural Advocacy & Support Services, we work one-on-one with you to determine if a pooled trust is the right fit.
✅ It’s free
✅ It’s confidential
✅ There’s no obligation
