Heat Safety Tips:

• If it is really hot, try stay in a cool place like inside or in the shade. Heat goes up so if you are inside, downstairs may be cooler than upstairs.
• If you have to be outside when it is hot, wear sunscreen, light clothing and a hat
• Drink lots of water and eat light meals
• Try not to do a lot of running or playing that makes you tired
• If you don’t feel good, tell a grown-up
• Make sure your pets have water and shade
