This week has been hot and humid. Here are some tips to prevent heat related illnesses!
- Drink more fluids (non-alcoholic). Don't wait until you are thirsty to drink!
- Stay indoors and in air conditioned places, if at all possible. No air conditioning in your home, visit a local mall or library to cool off.
- Wear lightweight, light colored and loose fitting clothes.
- Wear brimmed hats and sunscreen.
- Never leave anyone or a pet in a closed, parked vehicle!
- Limit outdoor activity to the morning or evening hours, when the sun is lower and it's more cool.
- Find a shady place to rest when outdoors.
