To stay safe and avoid heat-related emergencies, follow these essential tips:
🌡️ Stay hydrated by drinking water regularly, even if you don’t feel thirsty. It’s also best to avoid alcohol and caffeine, which can exacerbate dehydration.
🏠 Stay cool by spending time in air-conditioned spaces like libraries, stores, or designated cooling centers. These can provide a safe refuge from the heat.
🕶️ Dress for the heat by wearing loose, light-colored clothing. Try to avoid strenuous activities during the hottest parts of the day, typically between 11 AM and 5 PM.
🚨 It’s crucial to recognize the signs of heat-related illnesses:
– Heat Exhaustion: symptoms include dizziness, nausea, and heavy sweating.
– Heat Stroke: characterized by confusion, fainting, and a high body temperature. If you or someone you know is experiencing heat stroke, call 911 immediately.
🐾 Don’t forget to check on others, especially vulnerable individuals like kids, elderly neighbors, and pets. Never leave anyone or any pet in a parked car, as this can quickly become a life-threatening situation.
