On this day in 2009 we lost two icons, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson.
Things to do
Cooking Across Cultures Cooking Camp: If you haven’t found a camp activity for the kids yet, have them join Chef David at the Lofts in El Segundo for a three-day cooking class, geared at grades 4-8. They can wow their friends all summer long after learning to make a range of dishes from around the world, including pierogies, dal, and Turkish eggs.
Check out our full list of things to do this week.
Staying safe in the heat
- Don't wait until you're thirsty to drink water or electrolyte replacements.
- Drink cool water, not extremely cold water (which can cause cramps).
- Avoid sweetened drinks, caffeine and alcohol.
Protect pets
- 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.
- Provide shade.
- Provide clean drinking water.
Protect people
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," the CDC recommends).
