Do not leave children or pets alone in closed vehicles. Drink plenty of water and avoid caffeine. Check on those who do not have air conditioning or who spend much of their time alone. Check on pets often. Check the weather.
If you have to go outside:
Avoid strenuous work during the hottest times of day. Use the buddy system and take breaks often. Wear loose-fitting, lightweight and light-colored clothes that cover as much skin as possible. Wear sunblock and a wide-brimmed hat. Postpone outdoor activities.
