Stay Cool & Hydrated in Extreme Heat
Fresno County Department of Public Health
Follow these tips to stay cool:
- Stay hydrated.
- Wear loose, light-colored clothing, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat for protection.
- Stay indoors and, if possible, in an air conditioned place (shopping mall, library, etc.).
- Check on neighbors who might be vulnerable to the heat, especially those without air conditioning.
- Never leave infants, children, elderly, or pets in a car. Temperatures inside a car can quickly skyrocket to deadly levels.
- Keep pets indoors if possible. If kept outside, give them plenty of water and shade to rest in.
- If you work or play outside, take frequent breaks to hydrate and cool off in the shade.
- Symptoms of heat-related illness may include dizziness, fatigue, faintness, headaches, muscle cramps, and increased thirst. If you experience these symptoms, seek medical attention.
