Be prepared for extreme heat
|
As we move into the hottest part of summer, temperatures will continue to rise. The Office of Emergency Management and the Environmental Health & Safety Office want to make sure Mavericks know how to beat the heat. Knowing heat safety and how to recognize heat-related illness could save you or someone else.
Remember these tips:
- Hydrate - Whether you feel thirsty or not, drink plenty of water, especially when you are working or exercising outside.
-
Educate yourself - Keep up with the latest temperature and heat index forecasts. Know the warning signs of heat-related illness and how you can stay cool.
- Act quickly when a heat illness is suspected - Seek medical attention immediately for any of these warning signs: cramping, rapid pulse, heavy sweating, dizziness, confusion, nausea, vomiting.
-
Take it easy - Anyone working or exercising outdoors should avoid overexertion, especially during the hottest part of the day, which is usually between the hours of 11 a.m. and 6 p.m.
