Hunter residents are being urged to stay cool and to keep well hydrated, with a wave of hot weather expected to set-in from today.
Temperatures are predicted to remain in the high 30's and 40's for large areas of the State, and those living in bush-land open interfaces are being told to brace for fire danger.
Residents are being encouraged to have a Bush-Fire Survival Plan in
place, and watch out for signs of heat-related illness, including
nausea, vomiting, weakness and headaches.
Motorists are being reminded of the dangers of leaving the elderly, children and pets unattended in cars.
