As temperatures continue to rise, NDMD Outletz is reminding everyone to take the necessary precautions to protect themselves, their families, and their pets from the dangers of extreme heat.
Extreme heat can lead to serious health conditions such as heat exhaustion and heatstroke. By following a few simple safety measures, everyone can reduce their risk and stay safe during hot weather.
Heat Safety Tips
Avoid outdoor activities during the hottest hours of the day, especially between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m.
Wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing to help keep your body cool.
Never leave children or pets unattended in parked vehicles, even for a short period.
Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water—aim for at least ¾ of a gallon daily, or more if you are active or outdoors.
Ensure your pets have access to fresh water and adequate shade at all times.
Be alert for signs of heat exhaustion, including hot, red skin, changes in consciousness, a rapid, weak pulse, and rapid, shallow breathing. Seek medical attention immediately if symptoms worsen.
“Protecting our communities starts with awareness and preparedness,” said a spokesperson for NDMD Outletz. “We encourage everyone to take heat warnings seriously and look out for vulnerable family members, neighbours, and pets.”
