**Stay Safe During the Heat Wave**
As temperatures rise, it's important to take extra precautions to stay safe and healthy. Here are a few tips to help you manage during the heat wave:
1. **Stay Hydrated**: Drink plenty of water, even if you’re not feeling thirsty. Avoid caffeine and alcohol as they can dehydrate you.
2. **Stay Indoors**: Whenever possible, stay in air-conditioned spaces or well-ventilated areas. If you don’t have access to air conditioning, visit public spaces like malls or libraries.
3. **Limit Outdoor Activities**: Avoid strenuous outdoor activities during peak heat hours (usually between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.). If you must be outside, take breaks in the shade and wear lightweight, loose-fitting clothing.
4. **Check on Others**: Ensure that elderly neighbors, young children, and those with health conditions are staying cool and hydrated.
5. **Know the Signs of Heat Illness**: Dizziness, nausea, headache, and excessive sweating can all be signs of heat exhaustion or heat stroke. If you or someone else experiences these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.
Take care of yourself and others during this heat wave. Stay safe!
