Snow Hill, Md. – Worcester County is offering residents free summer kits to help them prepare for high temperatures and outdoor activity throughout the season. The kits are now available for pickup at public libraries and health department buildings in Snow Hill, Berlin, and Pocomoke. Each one includes supplies meant to reduce heat-related risk, such as bottled water, sunscreen, sunglasses, and reflective vests. Alongside the kits, officials are advising residents to take precautions during prolonged outdoor exposure. That includes drinking water regularly, wearing lightweight clothing, and planning physical activity for early or late hours when possible. Residents are also encouraged to limit caffeine and alcohol during extreme heat and to avoid foods that could raise body temperature further. Distribution will continue while supplies last. Further details are available at worcesterhealth.org.
