Tips from the NWS for staying safe during a heat wave

  • Stay hydrated: Remember to drink plenty of fluids.
  • Seek cool shelter: Opt for an air-conditioned room to stay comfortable.
  • Check on others: Stay out of the sun, and make sure to check up on relatives and neighbors.
  • Child and pet welfare: Never forget to safeguard young children and pets by not leaving them unattended in vehicles, especially during scorching weather when car interiors can become life-threateningly hot.
  • Be cautious outdoors: Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside.
  • Time your activities wisely: When possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening.
  • Recognize warning signs: Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.
  • Dress appropriately: Wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing to stay comfortable.

To minimize risks during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) advises incorporating frequent rest breaks in shaded or air-conditioned areas. If someone experiences heat-related symptoms, promptly relocate them to a cool and shaded spot. In case of an emergency, dial 911.
