Stay hydrated - drink plenty of water even if you do not feel thirsty. Remember to avoid drinks with caffeine or alcohol.
Wear lightweight, light colored, loose-fitting clothing
Don't forget sunscreen, wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses
Stay indoors - air conditioning is the best way to prevent heat related illness, especially for those who are 65 years or older, infants and children, and those with chronic medical conditions
Schedule outdoor activities outside of peak hours or rest often in the shade
Please remember to check on family, friends, and neighbors who do not have air conditioning, who spend much of their time alone, or who are more likely to be affected by the heat
