Staying safe in the heat

- Drink cool water, not extremely cold water (which can cause cramps)
- Avoid sweetened drinks, caffeine, and alcohol
-
Protect a pet from excessive heat
-
- Never leave a pet or animal in a garage
- Never leave a pet or animal in a vehicle
- Never leave a pet or animal in the sun

Check in frequently with family, friends, and neighbors. Offer assistance or rides to those who are sick or have limited access to transportation. And give extra attention to people most at risk, including:
-
- Elderly people (65 years and older)
- Infants
- Young children
- People with chronic medical conditions
- People with mental illness
- People taking certain medications (i.e.: "If your doctor generally limits the amount of fluid you drink or has you on water pills, ask how much you should drink while the weather is hot," says the CDC)

Things to do
The weekend is finally here.
- DTLA Dog Days: It’s not quite the dog days of summer yet, but Pershing Square is bringing the paw-ty downtown. Grab your furry friend (start with Bring Your Dog to Work Day on Friday) and then head to events like dog walking, dog caricatures, photo ops, and even puppy yoga on Saturday. Paid registration for that is here.
- It's Food Friday! Here's some food for thought — tacos are universally loved, but also can take on many shapes and forms. Do you ever stop to think about the way you make them at home — whether that's swapping out the protein, adding different toppings — and what that says about your culture? My colleagues Aaricka Washington and Veronica Daniel take a moment to celebrate and honor Black Tacos.
- Also if you're looking for last minute Father's day plans, we got you covered with this list of steakhouses recommended by LAist readers.

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
