Needless to say, it is hot out there. Record-breaking hot. Below is a comprehensive, if not exhaustive, list of ways to stay safe during this time of extreme heat. Please pass them along to friends and neighbors.
Heat Related Injuries
Slow down. Strenuous activities should be reduced or eliminated, or rescheduled to a cool time of day. Persons at risk, especially the elderly, should stay in the coolest place available out of the sun or in an air-conditioned room. Young people should avoid vigorous athletic activities during peak daylight hours. Coaches and teachers should enforce low stress activities for their athletes/students.
Dress for summer. Lightweight, light-colored, loose clothing reflects heat and sunlight, and helps your body maintain normal temperatures.
Drink plenty of water and other non-alcoholic fluids. Your body needs water to keep cool. Drink plenty of fluids even if you do not feel thirsty. Caffeinated beverages should be minimized in favor of water and sports drinks. (A good test of hydration is to make sure your urine is always clear in color.)
Fluid replacement – Unrestricted fluid intake is encouraged. Ideally, the rate of fluid replacement should approximate rate of sweat loss, which can be checked with daily weighing.
