SUMMER WEATHER SAFETY TIPS Summer weather brings higher temperatures which have the potential to cause heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Read on to keep yourself safe. You’re encouraged to share the information with family and friends. The symptoms of HEAT EXHAUSTION include: skin rash, heavy sweating, dizziness or fainting, nausea or vomiting, rapid breathing and heartbeat, headache, difficulty concentrating, muscle cramps, extreme thirst, dark urine and decreased urination. Anyone with these symptoms should be moved to a cool space and given plenty of water. The symptoms of HEAT STROKE include: high body temperature, dizziness or fainting, confusion, lack of coordination, and very hot and red skin. CALL 911. Heat stroke is a medical emergency and requires immediate action. Spending time in a cool space and drinking plenty of water is the best way to prevent heat-related illness. Other strategies include: • Dress for the heat: wear loose-fitting, light-coloured, breathable clothing. • Keep your space cool: use window blinds to block the sun and open windows at night to let cooler air in. • Stay informed and plan ahead: reschedule outdoor activities to cooler times of the day and avoid sun exposure; check the latest heat alert information & weather forecast. • Hydrate: Drink plenty of water and offer it to those in your care. • Check in: Pay attention to how you feel, and watch for symptoms of heat illness in those around you. • Cool off: take breaks from the heat by spending a few hours in a cool place (e.g. air-conditioned community centre, tree-shaded areas); use water to help cool off (e.g. cool shower, wet towels).
