EMSAT extends its heartfelt condolences to the family, friends, fellow first responders, and citizens of Mayes County following the passing of Mike Dunham.

Mike dedicated nearly 30 years of his life to serving others as an Emergency Management Deputy Director, medic, and firefighter. His commitment to public service extended far beyond Mayes County, touching countless lives and communities throughout Oklahoma and beyond. His passing is a tremendous loss that will be felt across the state, especially throughout Northeast Oklahoma. If you knew Mike you know how big his heart was and how much he loved his family, as well as helping others.

We stand alongside our fellow first responders across the state and the Mayes County community during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and all who had the honor of working alongside him. May they find comfort in the legacy of service he leaves behind and so many lives that he has touched.

With our deepest sympathy and respect,

Monday Reminder from EMSAT 🚑🚨🏥

One simple thing you can do today that could make a big difference during an emergency is keep an updated list of your medications.

Write down the name of each medication, the dose you take, and how often you take it. Include prescriptions, over the counter medications, vitamins, and supplements.

Keep a copy somewhere easy to find, such as your phone, wallet, refrigerator, or with a family member you trust. If you take several medications, having a current list can save valuable time when EMS arrives.

It is also a good idea to update the list whenever a medication is started, stopped, or changed.

During an emergency, you may not feel well enough to remember every medication you take. Having the information ready helps our crews get a better picture of your medical history and provide appropriate care.

Take a few minutes today and make sure your medication list is up to date.

Have a safe Monday, Okmulgee County! Just remember we are here when you need us.

With the heat today, please take it easy and look out for yourself and the people around you. 🔥🥵☀️

Drink plenty of water throughout the day, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Try to stay in the shade or air conditioning when you can, and take breaks if you’re working or spending time outside.

Never leave a child, elderly person, or pet in a parked vehicle, even for a few minutes. Temperatures inside a vehicle can become dangerous very quickly.

Know the signs of heat illness: heavy sweating, weakness, dizziness, headache, nausea, confusion, or passing out. If someone becomes confused, has a seizure, loses consciousness, or has very hot skin, call 911.

From all of us at EMSAT, stay cool, stay hydrated, and keep an eye on your neighbors, family, and coworkers today. Stay safe, Oklahoma.

☀️ HEAT SAFETY REMINDER FROM EMSAT

With hot temperatures expected across Oklahoma, we want to remind everyone to take a few simple precautions when spending time outside.

Heat-related illness can happen to anyone, especially during prolonged outdoor activity or physical work. Older adults, young children, and people with certain medical conditions can be at higher risk.

A few things to keep in mind:

• Drink fluids regularly throughout the day and don’t wait until you’re severely thirsty.

• Take frequent breaks in a shaded or air-conditioned area if you’re working or exercising outside.

• When possible, plan strenuous outdoor activities for the cooler parts of the day.

• Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing and protect yourself from direct sun.

• Check on elderly family members, neighbors, and anyone who may not have adequate air conditioning.

• Never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle. Temperatures inside a vehicle can rise quickly to dangerous levels.

Know the warning signs of heat exhaustion. They can include heavy sweating, weakness, dizziness, headache, nausea, muscle cramps, and fainting.

Heat stroke is a medical emergency. Confusion, loss of consciousness, or a very high body temperature can be signs of heat stroke. If you suspect heat stroke, call 911 immediately and move the person to a cooler location while waiting for help.

A few simple precautions can prevent a serious emergency.

Stay safe, stay hydrated, and look out for each other.

Stroke Awareness

Every minute counts during a stroke.

If someone suddenly has a drooping face, weakness in one arm, trouble speaking, or loses their balance, don’t wait to see if it gets better.

Call 911.

The sooner treatment starts, the better the chance of recovery.

Take a minute today to remember BE FAST:

* Balance
* Eyes
* Face
* Arms
* Speech
* Time to call 911

It only takes a few minutes to learn the signs, but it could make all the difference for someone you care about.
