Tips to Stay Safe in the Heat

• Drink lots of water and wear loose-knit clothing.
• Check up on relatives and neighbors, especially if they have pre-existing health conditions or are sensitive to heat.  Let them know the heat is coming and the ways to stay safe. 
• Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances. 
• Take extra precautions if you work, exercise, or spend time outside. When possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening, or until this period of extreme heat is over.

Know the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Heat stroke is a life-threatening emergency. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location, and then immediately call 9-1-1.
