Excessive Heat: What to Do and Where to Go

As the summer continues, rising temperatures can put people at risk for heat-related illness and death.


During a heat emergency, the public is urged to take extra precautions to protect themselves. High-risk groups such as adults age 55 and older, children under the age of five, and people with chronic illness are urged to stay inside air-conditioned buildings between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m., the hottest part of

the day. 


To avoid heat-related illnesses:

  • Drink lots of liquids even before getting thirsty, but avoid those with caffeine, alcohol or large amounts of sugar because these can actually result in the loss of body fluid.
  • Conduct exercise or outdoor work in the early morning or evening when it is cooler. Remember to take frequent breaks during strenuous activity.
  • People without air conditioning can visit a cooling center. When temperatures reach the high 90s, using electric fans without an air-conditioner only spurs the movement of hot, humid air, accelerating body heating and raising internal body temperature. Taking frequent cool baths or showers is a much better way to minimize the effects of the heat.
  • Wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing that permits the evaporation of perspiration.
  • Never leave a person or a pet inside a closed, parked car during hot weather.
  • Stay alert to heat advisories issued by the National Weather Service


In case of heat exhaustion, get to a cool, air-conditioned place, drink water if conscious, and take a cool shower or use a cold compress. In the case of a heat stroke, call 9-1-1.


Learn about the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke at bit.ly/heat-illness-info.

In cases of extreme heat, you can also go to cooling centers, large spaces with A/C. The following city multi-service centers are designated as cooling locations:
