Heat Safety

Published on June 11, 2026

Make heat safety part of your game-day routine! Stay hydrated, take breaks in the shade, and keep an eye on friends and family. If you notice symptoms of heat stroke, call 911 right away! Heat stroke is a medical emergency.

Stay Hydrated: Drink water throughout the day  and avoid sugary beverages and alcohol. When out, bring a reusable bottle with you. 

Plan your day: Avoid going out during the hottest hours and plan outdoor activities in the morning and evening hours. 

Shade: Bring a hat or umbrella with you when you're out. If outside, take multiple breaks in a shaded area. 

Stay Cool: Visit a cooling center or other air-conditioned place, park with shade, splash pad or pool. 

Hot Cars can be deadly: Never leave children or pets in cars unattended. Call 911 if you see a child or pet in a car alone. 

Help Others: Check on those at risk: outside workers, people with disablities, order adults, pregnant women, and young children. 

Wear Sunscreen: Sunburn can make you dehydrated and increase your risk for skin cancer. When out, always wear sunscreen (SPF 15 or higher). Reapply at least every two hours, especially when seating or swimming. 

Wear Appropriate Clothing: Choose lighter-weight, light-colored and loose-fitting clothing. Add a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses for extra protection.
