⚠️Important safety reminder⚠️ With extreme heat hitting our area, it’s important all of us keep our health top of mind.
That’s why our team compiled a list of key health and safety tips for this heat wave:
1️⃣ Stay hydrated - Drink water throughout the day, even if you're not thirsty. It's especially important for kids and seniors to stay hydrated.
2️⃣ Protect your pets - Keep them inside as much as possible, make sure their water is fresh, and avoid walks during the hottest hours. Never leave them in parked cars!
3️⃣ Dress smart - Opt for lightweight, light-colored clothes, sunscreen, and a hat.
4️⃣ Seek cool spaces - If you don’t have A/C in your home, consider visiting air-conditioned public spaces like malls, libraries, etc. You could also visit friends who have A/C.
5️⃣ Take cool showers - Lower your body temp with cool showers. In addition, use damp towels or mist spray during the day.
6️⃣ Limit outdoor activities - Avoid strenuous activities during the hottest parts of the day. If you must be outside, test in shaded spots and stay hydrated.
