How to stay safe during summer heatwaves

As summer temperatures soar, heatwaves are becoming more frequent and intense.

Protecting yourself during these periods is essential, as extreme heat places significant strain on the body, particularly for the elderly, children, and those with chronic health conditions.

The most important defense is hydration; drink water consistently, even before you feel thirsty, and avoid caffeine or alcohol.

It is vital to recognize the symptoms of heat stress.

If you suspect heat stroke, call emergency services immediately.

By staying informed and prepared, you can enjoy the season safely while keeping cool.
