Hot Weather Plan
|
|
|

|
1.
|
Spend the hottest part of the day in an air conditioned place and try to save energy by insulating your home and following other energy saving tips.
|
2.
|
If you don’t have air conditioning, find a place close to you—a cooling site or another public place where you can be comfortable and cool—go to a theater, supermarket, public library or shopping mall.
|
3.
|
Wear light, loose fitting clothing.
|
4.
|
Drink plenty of water.
|
5.
|
Watch for signs of heat stress. Call 911 if you are concerned.
|
6.
|
Look out for elderly friends, neighbors or relatives who may not notice the signs of heat stress. Check on those who may not have or be able to use air conditioning.
|
7.
|
Never leave seniors, young children or pets in a parked car even for a few minutes. You could put them at risk for heat-related illness or even death. Be sure to lock your car when at home to keep children from climbing in and becoming trapped.
