Hot Weather Alert - Be Prepared
High temperatures can bring on heat illness and with it medical emergencies. Be alert to heat illness symptoms and take action. Watch yourself, family, friends. Check on neighbors who are alone and/or homebound.
Prevent Heat Illness - - Drink Water Often: Stay hydrated with water, avoid sugary and cafeinated beverages
- Keep Cool: Spend time in air conditioning in your home, room in your home or at the shopping mall, public library or go to a movie.
- Cool with Fans: Fans can draw cool air into your home at night or help provide air circulation during the day.
- Baths and Showers: Cool baths or showers provide amazing relief from the heat.
- Clothing: Wear as little as possible when you are at home. Lightweight, light colored, loose fitting clothing is more comfortable in hot weather. Cotten is very comfortable. Wear a hat or use an umbrella to protect your head and neck when you are outdoors.
- Slow Down: Take it easy, especially at the start of hot weather when your body is less prepared for the heat. Physical activity produces body heat.
