Description

  • Stay in air conditioned spaces when possible.
  • Avoid using fans as your primary cooling device, especially when it gets extremely hot inside. Instead, mist yourself with a spray bottle, and then use the fan to get the cooling benefits of evaporation.
  • Drink plenty of fluids, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Water is best. Limit sugary drinks, caffeine, and alcohol. 
  • Wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing – and sunscreen.
  • Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside.
  • To reduce risk during outdoor work, schedule frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments.
  • Exercise in the early morning when it’s cooler.
  • Avoid strenuous activity in the heat of the day.
  • Take cool showers or baths.
  • Get a baby pool or play in a sprinkler. 
  • Avoid doing laundry.
  • Eat small, light meals.
  • Wear a lifejacket and take other safety precautions in rivers and lakes. More information on water safety is available on the Red Cross webpage
