Tips to Prevent Heat Stroke

During a heat wave, it's important to take steps to stay cool and hydrated to avoid heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Here are some tips:

1. Stay indoors: Try to stay inside in air-conditioned spaces as much as possible, especially during the hottest parts of the day.

2. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water and avoid drinks that contain caffeine or alcohol, as they can dehydrate you.

3. Dress appropriately: Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing and a hat to protect your head and face from the sun.

4. Take cool showers or baths: Taking a cool shower or bath can help lower your body temperature and make you feel more comfortable.

5. Use fans and air conditioning: Use fans or air conditioning to keep your home cool, and consider purchasing a portable air conditioning unit if you don't have central air.

6. Avoid strenuous activities: Try to avoid exercising or doing other strenuous activities during the hottest parts of the day.

7. Eat light, cold meals: Eat light, cold meals such as salads or sandwiches instead of heavy, hot meals that can make you feel even hotter.

8. Check on vulnerable individuals: Make sure to check on elderly neighbors, those with chronic medical conditions, or others who may be more vulnerable to heat-related illnesses.

Keep cool and keep safe!
