Ways to stay safe in the heat according to the NWS
- Stay hydrated: Remember to drink plenty of fluids.
- Find cool shelter: Stay in an air-conditioned room.
- Look out for others: Stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.
- Prioritize child and pet safety: Be vigilant about never leaving young children and pets in vehicles without supervision, especially during periods of intense heat, as car interiors can quickly become extremely hot.
- Exercise caution outdoors: If you work or spend time outside, take additional safety measures.
- Select the ideal time: If possible, move strenuous activities to early morning or evening for more favorable conditions.
- Familiarize yourself with warning signs: Know the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
- Dress appropriately: Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing to stay comfortable.
To minimize risks during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) advises incorporating frequent rest breaks in shaded or air-conditioned areas. If someone experiences heat-related symptoms, promptly relocate them to a cool and shaded spot. In case of an emergency, dial 911.
