The Local Office on Again is once again offering fans or air conditioners to seniors to help combat heat stress brought on by high temperatures. 
As the thermometer starts to climb, the risk of heat stress increases. Hot weather can strain older persons’ bodies, especially the heart. Some prescription drugs may also reduce their ability to handle the hot weather.
The danger signs of heat stress include dizziness, rapid heartbeat, nausea, throbbing headache, lack of perspiration, chest pains, weakness, breathing problems, cramps and confusion. Older persons should seek medical advice if these symptoms occur.  
Proper precautions can make the heat more bearable:
• Seek cool surroundings (Visit libraries, malls, etc.),
• Drink extra fluids,
• Wear light, loose fitting clothing,
• Reduce physical activity,
• Avoid hot foods and heavy meals,
• Avoid alcohol, and
• Take cooling baths and showers.
Seniors interested in receiving fans or air conditioners from LOA’s Senior Cool Care program can call the LOA Covington office for more information at (540) 962-0465. The LOA started accepting applications for the program on June 6. 
To be eligible  persons must meet the following criteria:
• Live in Covington, Clifton Forge or Alleghany County,
• Be 60 years of age or older,
• Have a need for cooling assistance,
• Meet monthly income guidelines. 
LOA’s annual Senior Cool Care program is sponsored locally by Dominion Energy.
