• Stay indoors as much as possible and limit exposure to the sun
  • If you must be outdoors, limit your outdoor activity to the morning and evening hours
  • Try to rest often in shady areas so your body temperature will have a chance to recover
  • Use sunscreen with a high SPF and wear a wide-brimmed hat
• Do not leave pets outside for extended periods
• Never leave children or pets alone in a closed vehicle. Even with the windows cracked open, interior temperatures can rise almost 20°F within 10 minutes

• Stay on your lowest floor, out of the sun. Use fans to stay cool and avoid using your stove and oven.
• Consider spending time in air-conditioned public spaces, such as schools, libraries, theaters, and other community facilities
• Check with the local authorities or call or call 2-1-1 to find locations of cooling centers or shelters near you

• Install a humidifier for your home or just your bedroom
• Install a dehumidifier if you have a damp basement
• Stay inside with your windows closed, away from pollen and other things you may be allergic to
• Make sure your medications are filled and take them as prescribed
• Always keep your maintenance and rescue inhalers close by
• If the cost of medications is limiting your ability to control your disease, speak with your doctor or care manager

We are advising community members to:

• Slow down and avoid strenuous activity
• Wear lightweight, loose-fitting, light-colored clothing
• Drink plenty of water — even if you are not thirsty
• Check on family, friends, and neighbors, especially the elderly, those who live alone, those with medical conditions, those who may need additional assistance
