ALT Beat the Heat during outdoor events. Drink plenty of water and encourage those with you to do the same. Wear a hat and lightweight, loose-fitting, and light-colored clothing. Apply sunscreen. Use an electric or handheld fan, cooling towels, or other cooling technology. Take breaks under shade, in cooling tents, or misting stations. At the first signs of dizziness or weakness, look for medical assistance.
ALT Extreme Heat Planning Timeline. Pre-Season - Start Planning before hot weather arrives: build an emergency kit, make a plan for power outages, become trained in first aid for heat-related emergencies and check that your air conditioner and fans are in working order. A few days out - If the forecast calls for extreme heat, be ready: gather food, water & medication; make a list of friends and family to check on and help prepare; know your local cooling stations or other cool locations; reschedule outdoor events. During and After - Remain vigilant and stay informed: stay in A/C and out of the sun if possible, check on friends, family, neighbors and pets, drink plenty of water, take breaks and use a buddy system if working outdoors.
ALT Stay indoors during heat waves. Stay indoors in air conditioning whenever possible. If your home doesn't have AC, check if your area has a cooling center. Remain hydrated by drinking water and avoiding alcohol. Check on those most vulnerable to heat, including children and the elderly. If you must go outdoors, go early or late in the day, and dress in light-colored clothing.
ALT Heat Exhaustion vs Heat Stroke. Symptoms of heat exhaustion include dizziness, thirst, heavy sweating, nausea, and weakness. Act fast by moving to a cooler area, loosening clothing, sipping cool water. Seek medical help if symptoms don't improve. Heat exhaustion can lead to heat stroke. Symptoms of heat stroke include confusion, dizziness, and becoming unconscious. Act fast by calling 911, moving the person to a cooler area, loosening clothing and removing extra layers, and cooling with water or ice. Heat stroke can cause death or permanent disability if emergency treatment is not given.
