It’s not yet summer, but we are already experiencing some very warm weather.  Temperatures are expected to be in the 90’s or higher in some areas.  This is just a reminder from your Health Services Unit about the precautions we can take to avoid heat-related illness.

This is especially important for the very young, the elderly, and those with chronic medical conditions.

The basics to remember are:

Hydrate—drink plenty of water or other non-caffeinated beverages, or have popsicles, crushed ice, or jello. 

Shelter and shade—don’t go out in the sun in the middle of the day.  Stay inside.  It’s a  good time to see a movie or to the mall.

Wear a hat, sunscreen, sleeves and limit outdoor physical activity in the middle of the day.
