SUMMARY:Hot Day Care Brigade 🌞🌡️🧃
CONTACT:Revolutionary Bicycle Club
DESCRIPTION:Ride is on for today! Bring a mask/respirator!\nClimate chaos 
 is here\, and heat kills! \n\nLet's take a slow ride around SE to deliver 
 cold drinks and care to anyone we encounter who needs a cooldown. We know 
 that people living or working outside are particularly vulnerable to 
 heatstroke\, and wildlife and outdoor pets can suffer too.\n\nWe'll only 
 ride if the temps are in the mid nineties or above. We'll repeat this ride
  on other days as needed\, so check the calendar on any hot day to see if 
 it's happening. \n\nThis will be a casual ride with no planned route and 
 may split into groups if a lot of people show up. We may end the ride by 
 stopping somewhere for a cold treat or drink\, plunging in a river\, 
 merging with another ride\, or just heading home. You decide!\n\nWHAT YOU 
 CAN BRING: cold or frozen bottled drinks\, water\, snacks (salty snacks 
 provide electrolytes)\, cooling packs\, lightweight towels/bandanas (for 
 soaking in water)\, handheld fans\, first aid supplies/gloves\, and clean 
 reusable water bottles. We'll swing by Safeway as the start of the ride to
  pick up any extra supplies we need\, so don't sweat it if you don't have 
 time to grab supplies before coming to the ride.\n\nDue to the air quality
  we also highly recommend bringing a mask/respirator (kn95 or higher 
 quality). \n\nSOME THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT HEATSTROKE: 🥵🥵🥵\n\nPublic 
 health officials usually report a spike in heat-related deaths and 
 illnesses whenever temps go into the mid nineties and above.\n\nHeatstroke
  is a medical emergency and should always be taken seriously. Signs of 
 heatstroke include inability to speak/slurred speech\, disorientation\, 
 lack of normal sweating\, extreme lethargy\, and fainting. In animals\, 
 fast panting and/or abnormally sluggish behavior (for example\, a wild 
 animal that does not run away when you approach) may indicate heat 
 illness. \n\n🆘🧍🏾‍♀️For humans\, when heatstroke is suspected you should
  call 911 first and then move the person out of the sun\, remove excess 
 layers of clothing\, and start cooling them by dousing in water\, 
 fanning\, and applying cold packs. On a hot day\, do NOT assume that 
 someone who is lying down outside is just sleeping or intoxicated– check 
 to make sure that they are okay! Do not offer drinks to anyone who is 
 having trouble talking\, as liquid may be a choking hazard. \n\n🐿️🐦‍⬛For
  furred/feathers animals\, you can also wet and fan them but do *not* use 
 ice water as this can cause constriction of blood vessels and further trap
  heat. Handle wildlife as little as possible while relocating to a cooler 
 place\, then seek help from a certified wildlife rescuer. \n\n🌳🌲Don't 
 forget about trees! Newly planted trees particularly suffer during heat 
 waves\, and trees planted at new developments\, schools\, and commercial 
 complexes may not have someone checking in on them. The best way to water 
 a tree is with a very slow drip system: add a pinprick hole to the cap of 
 a gallon jug\, fill up with water\, then bury the top of the jug in soil 
 (ideally directly beneath the far edge of the tree's canopy\, where rain 
 would naturally fall) to slowly drain. Young trees may need 20 gallons per
  week.\n\nHappy climate change summer! 🌞\nMeet at 5\, roll at 5:15\,
