Tips from the NWS for staying safe during a heat wave
- Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of fluids.
- Seek shelter: Stay indoors in an air-conditioned room to keep cool.
- Check on others: Stay out of the sun, and make sure to check up on relatives and neighbors.
- Child and pet welfare: Never forget to safeguard young children and pets by not leaving them unattended in vehicles, especially during scorching weather when car interiors can become life-threateningly hot.
- Be cautious outdoors: Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside.
- Find the right time: Consider rescheduling strenuous activities to early morning or evening if possible.
- Be alert to warning signs: Educate yourself about the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
- Dress comfortably: Wear lightweight and loose-fitting clothing.
To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air-conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. In an emergency, call 911.
