Know the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
If you or anyone you know is having a heat stroke, call 911 immediately.
It is advised to stay in air-conditioned places or to take shade often if you are working outdoors. Staying hydrated throughout the day is crucial. Do not wait until you are thirsty to drink water, as it may be too late and you likely are already dehydrated. Dress in loose fitting clothing in light colors. Eating light meals helps your body stay cooler. Try to limit activities outdoors during the peak hours of heat, between 12 p.m. and 4 p.m.
