☀️ DURING A HEAT WAVE: PROTECT YOURSELF. PROTECT OTHERS.
When temperatures soar, small decisions can make a big difference.
✅ Wear light, loose-fitting clothing and a hat.�
✅ Stay in the shade and limit strenuous activity.�
✅ Drink water regularly, don't wait until you're thirsty.�
✅ Keep your home cool by closing blinds, using fans or cool compresses, and staying in the coolest room. Space blankets can also help keep heat out through windows.�
✅ Check on older adults, vulnerable neighbors, and anyone working outdoors.
❌ Avoid alcohol, excessive caffeine, and heavy meals.
❌ Never leave children or pets in a parked vehicle—even for a minute.�
Heat-related illness can develop quickly, but it's largely preventable with the right habits.
