- If you do not have an air conditioner, consider going to a public pool, air-conditioned store, mall, movie theater, library during the hottest part of the day.
- Drink fluids, particularly water, even if you do not feel thirsty. Avoid beverages containing alcohol, caffeine, or high amounts of sugar.
- Cool showers or baths may be helpful, but avoid extreme temperature changes as they can cause nausea or dizziness.
- Check on your neighbors, family, and friends, especially if they are seniors, young children, or people special needs.
