The city of Lexington will implement Phase One of the Heat Plan on Saturday, July 13. As part of Phase One, the following actions will occur:
The heat index is forecasted to be 95 degrees or more over the next four days. Lexington will monitor the heat index and expand options and resources as necessary. The heat index combines temperature and humidity to approximate how hot it “feels” outside.
Emergency Management encourages all residents to take precautions outdoors, especially during the late morning and afternoon. The very young, the elderly, and those with medical conditions are particularly vulnerable to heat-related illnesses and should seek shelter from the extreme heat. More information about handling extreme heat is available from the Lexington Emergency Management website at BeReadyLexington.com/extreme-heat.
Preparedness information is available via Lexington Emergency Management’s website BeReadyLexington.com, Facebook page: Lexington KY Emergency Management, and Instagram and Twitter (X) accounts: @LexKYEM.
The City of Lexington, along with the Bluegrass Regional Transfer Station, is offering Fayette County residents a free trash disposal day for non-hazardous waste on Saturday.
