Heat Advisory

7/8/2024

Update: July 31, 2024

The Arlington area is currently experiencing very high heat. Please use caution. For the safety of all visitors and funeral attendees, we offer the following recommendations: 

•  Stay hydrated. Click here for a map of water fountains and bottle fillers located within the cemetery. We recommend bringing your own water bottle, or purchasing one at the Welcome Center

•  Wear appropriate clothing and skin protection

•  Consider riding the interpretive tour tram rather than walking. Distances between the Welcome Center and major sites, including the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the gravesite of President John F. Kennedy, require moderate exertion and walking uphill. Click here for tram information

•  Call 911 for emergency situations
