Stay in the shade: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, especially between 11am and 3pm


Protect Yourself: Wear light, loose-fitting clothing, sunscreen, and a hat when outdoors


Check on Others: Ensure vulnerable individuals, like older adults, young children, and those with health conditions, are staying safe


Be Prepared: Familiarize yourself with local heat-health alerts and take necessary precautions
