Safety Tips During Extreme Heat

• Stay indoors and avoid extreme temperature changes.
   
• If air conditioning is not available, stay on the lowest floor out of the sunshine.
   
• Keep your electric fans running.
   
• Drink fluids--particularly water or juice--often, even if you do not feel thirsty.  This will help your body's thermostat stay cool.
   
• Eat small, frequent meals.
   
• Keep pets indoors and refill their water bowls frequently.
   
• Do not leave children or pets in an enclosed vehicle.
