TULSA, Oklahoma -
The dangerously hot weather in Green Country, with the heat index above 100 degrees Tuesday, is showing no signs of letting up soon.
While some are finding ways to stay cool, experts said this weather can be deadly.
EMSA said on Tuesday alone it responded to at least five heat-related calls. Since last Thursday, paramedics have responded to at least 26 heat-related calls.
Dementia Consultant Cheryl Doyle is especially concerned for people who have trouble fending for themselves.
“Dehydration is huge. Because even when we’re not dealing with these extreme temperatures, trying to keep somebody hydrated who has dementia can be very difficult," Doyle said.
