Many people will be spending time outdoors. If you fall in this category, keep these safety rules in mind:

  • Drink plenty of water.
  • Wear light weight, light colored clothing. 
  • Reduce strenuous activity, or reserve it until early or late in the day.
  • Make sure children and pets are never left unattended in vehicles! Temperatures inside can quickly reach lethal levels. 
  • If possible, spend time in an air conditioned environment. Check with local officials to see if any cooling shelters have been opened in your area.
