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.

By looking out for one another and taking the necessary precautions, we can keep our community safe during this extreme heat. If you need assistance, don’t hesitate to reach out. 💪
