Below are some more tips to help you keep cool as the temperatures heat up:

• Stay indoors in air conditioning as much as possible.
• If you do go outside, stay in the shade.
• If your home is not air-conditioned, spend at least two hours daily at an air-conditioned mall, library or other public place.
• Wear sunscreen outside along with loose-fitting, light-colored clothes that cover as much skin as possible.
• Drink water regularly even if you are not thirsty. Limit alcohol and sugary drinks which speeds dehydration.
• Never leave children or pets alone in the car.
• Avoid exertion during the hottest part of the day.
• Take a cool shower or bath.
• Make sure to leave plenty of water for your pets.
• Be a good neighbor, check on elderly and people with disabilities in your community who may need assistance keeping cool.
• Additionally, residents should contact their local and/or county offices of emergency management regarding any open air-conditioned senior centers or cooling stations.
