Tips from the NWS for staying safe during a heat wave
- Stay hydrated: Keep yourself well-hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids.
- Seek cool shelter: Opt for an air-conditioned room to stay comfortable.
- Look out for others: Stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors.
- Child and pet safety: Never leave young children and pets unattended in hot vehicles – car interiors can reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes.
- Be mindful outdoors: Take extra precautions when working or spending time outside.
- Optimal Timing: When possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening.
- Recognize early indicators: Learn to identify the warning signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
- Dress for comfort: Wear lightweight and loose-fitting clothing to stay cool.
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.
