With warmer weather on the way, a few simple precautions can help you and your family stay well over the summer months.
Keep Hydrated
Drink water regularly throughout the day, particularly during hot spells. Young children and older adults are especially at risk of dehydration.
Take Care in the Sun
Use a high-factor sunscreen, seek shade during the hottest part of the day, and wear a hat where possible.
When to Seek Help
Heat exhaustion can develop quickly. If someone becomes confused, stops sweating despite feeling hot, or doesn’t improve after moving somewhere cool and drinking water, seek medical help promptly.
