What to do
Move strenuous activity to cooler times
Use shade or air-conditioned locations when possible.
Drink fluids regularly
Encourage water before people feel very thirsty unless a medical professional has given different fluid instructions.
Never leave a child or pet in a parked vehicle
Vehicle temperatures can become dangerous very quickly.
Know warning signs
Confusion, fainting, severe weakness or very hot skin can signal a life-threatening heat emergency. Call 911 for severe symptoms.
Check higher-risk family members
Infants, older adults and people with certain health conditions may need extra support.
