Updates from MESA – Summer 2026
Know the Signs: Heat Exhaustion vs. Heat Stroke
Summer is a time for outdoor fun, but rising temperatures also bring health risks. Heat exhaustion can quickly escalate to heat stroke, a life-threatening condition that can cause death or permanent disability if emergency treatment is not given. Knowing the warning signs of heat-related illnesses and how to respond can prevent a medical emergency from becoming tragic.
• Heat Exhaustion: Signs are dizziness, thirst, heavy sweating, nausea and weakness. Move the person to a cooler area, loosen their clothing, have them sip cool water and seek medical help if symptoms don’t improve.
• Heat Stroke: Signs are confusion, dizziness or becoming unconscious. Call 911 immediately. Move the person to a cooler area, loosen clothing and remove extra layers, and cool them with water or ice while emergency responders are on their way.
National CPR and AED Awareness Week
About 70% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests happen at home. When applied by a trained bystander, CPR can triple a person’s chance of survival. Hands-only CPR is just as effective as conventional CPR in the first few minutes of cardiac arrest, and it can be performed in two simple steps:
- Call 911 if you see a teen or adult suddenly collapse.
- Push hard and fast in the center of the chest to the beat of a familiar song with 100 to 120 beats per minute, such as “Stayin’ Alive.”
MESA provides hands-only CPR training for free. Check our Facebook events page for public class dates. To schedule training for a community group, contact Jess Barash at jbarash@mesalancasterpa.gov or 717-361-8220 ext. 107. You can also watch a quick instructional video at Hands-Only CPR | American Heart Association CPR & First Aid.
Distracted Driving Law Now Enforced
Effective June 6, 2026, law enforcement officials can issue citations to violators of Pennsylvania’s Paul Miller’s Law. This law strictly prohibits the use of hand-held mobile devices while driving including texting, calling or browsing while actively driving or while stationary at a red light or stop sign.
Drivers are still permitted to use their phones to alert emergency responders. Hands-free technology remains legal for making phone calls, utilizing GPS navigation and listening to music. To ensure safety, drivers should mount their phones on the dashboard, turn on “Do Not Disturb,” or keep devices put away entirely.

Volunteers Make a Big Impact
East Donegal Township would like to extend a sincere thank you to the eight dedicated volunteers who recently participated in a cleanup effort within the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Through their hard work and commitment to protecting our environment, the group successfully removed an estimated 220 pounds of trash from the area.
Items collected included six tires, a barrel, and even a child’s lawnmower toy, along with numerous smaller pieces of litter and debris that would otherwise continue to impact our local waterways and natural habitats.
This cleanup effort is a great reminder that even small acts of service can make a meaningful difference in preserving the beauty and health of our community and the Chesapeake Bay watershed.
A special thank you goes to Cathleen Mastrilli for coordinating this important project and helping to inspire volunteerism and environmental stewardship throughout the region.
