extreme heat safety tips
The following groups are particularly vulnerable to heat. Check in with friends and relatives who fall in one of these populations, especially if they don’t have air conditioning:
- Young children and infants are particularly vulnerable to heat-related illness and death, as their bodies are less able to adapt to heat than are adults.
- Older adults, particularly those with pre existing diseases, take certain medications, are living alone or with limited mobility who are exposed to extreme heat can experience multiple adverse effects.
- People with chronic medical conditions are more likely to have a serious health problem during a heat wave than healthy people.
- Pregnant women are also at higher risk. Extreme heat events have been associated with adverse birth outcomes such as low birth weight, preterm birth, and infant mortality, as well as congenital cataracts.
During extreme heat:
- Stay indoors in the AC and minimize time spent outdoors in the heat
- Avoid strenuous activities
- Check-in on people who are more vulnerable and who may need assistance
- Stay hydrated by drinking water and wear light-colored clothing outdoors
- Never leave children or pets alone in a vehicle
- Watch for heat cramps – exhaustion – stroke
