Extreme heat should be treated with the same care and preparation as other types of inclement weather warnings. Know the signs, drink plenty of fluids, and take extra precautions while outside.

Older adults may have additional safety concerns with this sudden heat wave. Here are some tips to stay cool and stay hydrated.

-Stay in air-conditioned buildings as much as possible. If your home doesn't have air conditioning, contact your local health department or locate an air-conditioned shelter in your area.
-Do not rely on a fan as your main cooling source when it's really hot outside.
-Drink more water than usual and don't wait until you're thirsty to drink. If your doctor limits the amount of fluids you drink or has you on water pills, ask them how much you should drink during hot weather.
-Don't use the stove or oven to cook—it will make you and your house hotter.
-Wear loose, lightweight, light-colored clothing.
-Take cool showers or baths to cool down.
-Do not engage in very strenuous activities and get plenty of rest.
-Check on a friend or neighbor and have someone do the same for you.
