Stay Hydrated
•Drink plenty of fluids. Encourage others to drink plenty of fluids, too. Replace salt and minerals with snacks or a sports drink.
Stay Cool
•Stay in an air-conditioned place as much as possible. If your home does not have air conditioning, go to your predesignated cool location. Wear lightweight, loose clothing and take cool showers or baths. Limit your outdoor activity. If you must work outdoors, schedule tasks earlier or later in the day.
Prevent Heat Illness
•Check on your friends, family, and neighbors. Help them prevent heat illness. Act fast if you notice someone with symptoms. Anyone can develop heat illness. But, people at greater risk are:
•Older adults
•Infants
•children and pregnant women
•People with medical conditions
•Outdoor workers
•People with limited personal resources
•People living in places that lack green spaces
