If you have been out taking in many of the homecoming festivities, it doesn't take much to realize that the Tallahassee sun and the heat are just plain disrespectful.
So FAMU issued a heat advisory for fans planning to attend Saturday's 2 p.m. Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) game against North Carolina Central at Bragg Memorial Stadium.
As a precaution, Florida A&M athletics and athletic training departments would like to encourage the following for fans attending the game:
- Stay Cool
- Wear light/loose clothing and a hat.
- Stay Hydrated
- Bottles of water are available for purchase at the concessions stand.
- There will be water stations on the East and West sides
- Avoid excessive alcohol consumption, stay hydrated, head to shaded areas around the concourse from time to time, and if you begin to feel signs of heat exhaustion or heat streak, seek medical attention immediately.
- Stay Alert
- Monitor susceptible fans (young, elderly or sick)
- If you or a loved one begins experiencing symptoms of heat exhaustion, contact the nearest campus safety officer, usher or EMS personnel.
