HEAT SAFETY
Whether you are playing or working outside this summer, you should take the following precautions to stay safe in the heat. • Stay Informed: Monitor local weather forecasts to know what times you should avoid outdoor activities. • Cover Up: Wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing, a wide-brim hat, and sunglasses that block UV rays. • Use Sunscreen (SPF 15 or higher): Put on sunscreen before you go outside even on cloudy days and reapply every two hours or more frequently if you are active and sweating or swimming. • Limit Direct Exposure: UV rays are most intense between 10am-4pm. Limit time outdoors during these hours. • Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water regardless of your activity level. Don't wait until you're thirsty to drink more fluids. Stay away from beverages that contain caffeine, alcohol, or large quantities of sugar. • Check Family and Friends: Keep an eye on family members, friends, and neighbors. Pay close attention and check regularly on young children and those 65 or older. • NEVER Leave Children or Pets In A Closed Car: In just a few minutes, temperatures can rise high enough inside the vehicle to hurt or kill your loved ones. • Know the Signs & Symptoms of Heat Disorders: Heat Stroke, Heat Exhaustion, Heat Cramps, Sunburn, and Heat Rash are common conditions that you should be able to recognize and know what to do.
