1: Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.

2: Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing to reflect the sun's rays.

3: Take breaks in shade or air-conditioned areas to cool off.

4: Avoid outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day.

5: Use sunscreen to protect your skin from sunburn.

6: Acclimate gradually to hot weather by easing into outdoor activities.

7: Know the signs of heatstroke, such as dizziness and hot, dry skin.

8: Never leave children or pets in a hot car, even for a few minutes.

9: Seek medical attention immediately if you or someone else shows symptoms of heatstroke.
