Your body can’t function as well in high temperatures. • Cool down in a cool store, public library, or community pool. • Shade heads and faces with a loose-fitting ventilated hat or umbrella outdoors. • Dress appropriately in lightweight, light-coloured, and loose-fitting clothing. • Avoid getting sunburned. It decreases the body’s ability to cool. • Never leave infants, children or pets inside a parked vehicle. • Remember to check on elderly family members, neighbours and friends to make sure they are comfortable and safe.For more information on heat waves and how to stay safe visit: https://www.getprepared.gc.ca/cnt/rsrcs/sfttps/tp201207-eng.aspx |
