Heat Related Death Prevention Tips:
– Stay inside during hottest months. If you must go outside, try to plan short trips during the coolest parts of the day.
– Plan ahead. Avoid too much activity in hot weather. Activity increases body temperature.
– Eat smaller meals. Eating heavier and larger meals will increase your metabolism which will also increase internal body temperature.
– Wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing made of natural fibers (cotton and linen are best).
– Drink plenty of non-alcoholic liquids (cold) even if you’re not thirsty.
– Keep HVAC system in top shape. Have a professional HVAC company inspect your A/C unit on a regular basis or before summer begins. (January through March are best for Queen Creek and San Tan residents).
– Do NOT go outside ALONE during hot days (above 95 degrees Fahrenheit)
– Check in on family, friends and neighbors who may be vulnerable to the heat (Call them at least once a day).
– Never leave children, older people or pets in cars.
