Hey everyone, it’s incredibly hot out there, and I want everyone to stay safe while this heatwave sticks around. Here’s a quick and simple guide to get through it.
First, your new best friend is water. Drink it constantly, even when you don’t feel thirsty. It’s the most important thing you can do. If you have to be outside, aim for the early morning or evening. Otherwise, your best bet is to stay indoors where there’s air conditioning. If you don’t have AC, now is a great time to visit a local library or community center for a few hours to cool down.
It’s also crucial to listen to your body. Feeling dizzy or overly tired could be a sign of heat exhaustion. If you feel this, get into a cool space and hydrate right away. A high temperature and confusion can signal heat stroke, which is a 911 emergency.
Finally, please check on your family and neighbors, especially the elderly. A simple call can make all the difference.
Stay safe, stay cool, and look out for each other!
