☀️ With temperatures rising this summer, it’s important to know the risks of heat-related illness and tips to staying cool. If you must go outside, dress properly and take breaks often.

🌡️ Extreme heat is a period of high heat and humidity with temperatures above 90 degrees for at least two to three days. In extreme heat your body works extra hard to maintain a normal temperature, which can lead to death. Extreme heat is responsible for the highest number of annual deaths among all weather-related hazards.

🥵Older adults, children and people with certain illnesses and chronic conditions are at greater risk from extreme heat.

💧Humidity increases the feeling of heat.

⚠️ Heat stroke is a medical emergency. If someone is experiencing symptoms, call 911 right away, move them to a cooler place and help lower their body temperature with cool cloths or a cool bath. Do not give them anything to drink. Learn more about heat stress here: Heat Stress Related Illness | NIOSH | CDC
