Heat Safety Tips
💧 Drink water regularly, even if you don't feel thirsty (unless your doctor has advised you to limit fluids).
🏠 Spend time in air-conditioned spaces whenever possible. If your home becomes too warm, consider visiting a local cooling center.
👕 Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing and avoid strenuous outdoor activities during the hottest parts of the day.
🚨 Know the warning signs of heat-related illness, including:
- Dizziness or weakness
- Confusion
- Headache
- Nausea
- Muscle cramps
- Fainting
🤝 Check in on older family members, friends, and neighbors. A simple phone call or visit can make all the difference during periods of extreme heat.
