Tips to stay cool in dangerous heat

Joseph Porcelli

Heat is one of the leading weather-related killers in the United States, resulting in over 1,200 deaths each year. Heat can be very taxing on the body. The best way to stay cool is to be inside with the AC running and shades drawn, limiting your stove and oven use.

If you must be outside, limit strenuous activities, find shade, drink plenty of water, and take frequent breaks

Please also note that young children and infants, older adults, particularly those with pre-existing conditions, people with chronic medical conditions, and pregnant women must take extra precautions.
