How to stay safe from the heat
According to the National Weather Service, children, infants, and older adults—especially those with pre-existing conditions—are particularly susceptible to heat-related diseases. Here’s how to keep your family and yourself safe from heat:
- Make sure to stay hydrated.
- Steer clear of coffee, alcohol, and sugary and sodium-rich beverages.
- Every two hours, apply sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.
- Reduce the amount of time you spend in the sun.
- Dress in light-colored, loose-fitting, and lightweight apparel.
- Take frequent rests in areas with air conditioning or shade.
- Have a refreshing shower or bath.
- If the temperature in the room is higher than 90 degrees, avoid turning a fan in your direction. You will become dehydrated more quickly due to the dry air.
- Aim to postpone physically demanding activities until the coolest part of the day.
- Consume cool, light, and easily digested foods like salads and fruit.
- Never leave a person or pet in a parked car and always check on others.
